Being a politician is certainly a bigger challenge for a woman than being in other professions. In politics, there is no time frame and you are on duty 24 hours. The apprehensions people have over women's ability to perform strengthens us to give our best. One has to realise that a woman is no less. The celebrity status is enjoyable, but I don't allow that to get in the way of my personal life.
I would like to bring women to a higher level of awareness and I certainly would like to choose the Women's Day to do something towards that end.
Power brings both joys and sorrows. You have to be wise to make better use of it.
