“All people here have political rights, social rights, rights to employment, and no one should face discrimination, but our strategic choice is for traditional families, healthy families and a healthy nation. One does not exclude the other and does not hinder the other. I think this is a balanced approach and is entirely the right approach.” PeopleThinkingShouldDoeFacesPoliticalChoicesNationsSocialRightsHealthyApproachDiscriminationTraditionalEmploymentBalancedStrategicHinderPolitical RightsTraditional FamilyHealthy Family Author:Vladimir Putin
“And finally, there is another danger: the emergence of nonideological but very aggressive 'isms,' which are really quite new. Let me at least name them: We all care about human rights, but I am afraid of 'human rightism.' We all want to have a healthy environment, but I see the danger in environmentalism. To put it politically correctly, I admire the second gender, but I fear feminism. We all are enriched by other cultures, but not by multiculturalism. I am aware of the importance of voluntary associations, but I fear NGOism.” WantHumansCareCultureNamesEnvironmentRightsFeminismDangerHealthyLet MeImportanceHuman RightsGenderAdmireAggressiveAssociationMulticulturalismEnvironmentalismEmergencePolitically CorrectIsmsOther CulturesHealthy Environment Author:Vaclav Klaus
“The communications revolution has given millions of people both a wider and more detailed understanding of the world. Because of technology, ordinary citizens enjoy access to information that formerly was available only to elites and nation-states. One consequence of this change is that citizens have become acutely conscious of environmental destruction, entrenched poverty, health catastrophes, human rights abuses, failing education systems, and escalating violence. Another consequence is that people possess powerful communication tools to coordinate efforts to attack those problems.” PeopleWorldHumansStatesProblemGivenNationsEnjoyUnderstandingPowerfulEffortEducationPovertyMillionsTechnologyRightsViolenceFailingInformationCommunicationRevolutionCitizensHealthyOrdinaryConsciousConsequenceToolsDestructionAbuseEnvironmentalHuman RightsAvailableAccessElitesCatastropheEducation SystemCoordinatesOrdinary CitizensAccess To InformationEscalatingEnvironmental Destruction Author:David Bornstein
“Even in decision-making, we work in self-help groups. That is women coming together in small groups of 10 to sometimes 15 women, where they start to get education about their rights, about clean water and sanitation, about how to have a healthy birth.

“[Transsexual surgery] could be likened to political psychiatry in the Soviet Union. I suggest that transsexualism should best be seen in this light, as directly political, medical abuse of human rights. The mutilation of healthy bodies and the subjection of such bodies to dangerous and life-threatening continuing treatment violates such people's rights to live with dignity in the body into which they were born.” PeopleShouldHumansBodyLightPoliticalBornRightsDangerousHealthyDignityAbuseUnionsHuman RightsMedicalTreatmentSovietContinuingSurgeryThreateningSoviet UnionPsychiatrySubjectionHealthy BodyMutilationTranssexuals Author:Sheila Jeffreys
“Good, healthy democratic societies are built on three pillars: there's peace and stability, economic development, and respect for rule of law and human rights. But often, we take stability - peace in terms of security and economic activity - to mean a country is doing well.
