Quote by Queen Victoria

“The Queen is most anxious to enlist everyone who can speak or write to join in checking this mad, wicked folly of Woman's Rights with all its attendant horrors on which her poor, feeble sex is bent, forgetting every sense of womanly feeling and propriety.”

Queen Victoria (May 24, 1819 – January 22, 1901) was the longest-reigning British monarch in history, ruling from 1837 to 1901—a period of 63 years. Born at Kensington Palace, she became queen at age 18. Her marriage to Prince Albert in 1840 produced nine children who married into European royal families, earning her the title "Grandmother of Europe." During her reign, the British Empire reached its zenith as the "empire on which the sun never sets." The Victorian Era marked the height of the Industrial Revolution, transforming Britain into the world's workshop. Victoria's death at Osborne House in 1901 marked the end of an era that profoundly shaped modern history. more

“News reports can overwhelm us. We can be appalled, we can sympathise. But what is hard to grasp is the sense that, at this moment, people are working, organising - not just at an executive level, but on the floor, in the warehouse. A man is packing a box of oral rehydration tablets; maternity kits are being prepared; education kits are being packed. And somewhere, tomorrow, those boxes will be unpacked and a child with life-threatening diarrhoea will be saved, a baby will be born in more hygienic circumstances, a girl will receive her first exercise book and her first pencil.”

“As a people, we value family, education and success. Hunger is an enemy to all three. Scientific studies have demonstrated that even brief periods of hunger can permanently inhibit a child's mental, emotional and physical growth. Kids who are hungry do poorly in school and are unlikely to grow into productive adults. For families, experiencing hunger means living in a world of isolation and shame. Caring citizens must put an end to this disgrace.”
