One Life Is Worth No More Or

We [with Bill Gates] Started To Make Decisions About What We'd Invest In. Then I Actually Started Traveling For The Foundation. I've Probably Been To India Now Eight Times At Least And Africa Numerous Times.

We Also Ought To Recognize That Unpaid Labor Falls Predominantly To Women. The Other Thing I Would Do In Countries Like The U.s. Is To Show More Men, Even In Tv Ads, Doing Household Work. Only Two Percent Of Ads Show Men Doing Chores, And Yet We Know They Actually Do Several Hours Of It In Real Life. Those Images Affect Young Boys And Girls.

If You Don't Invest In The Woman, Empower Her, Give Her The Things She Needs To Lift Her Family Up, You're Just Not Going To Make The Progress That You Want To Make. But If You Put Her At The Centre, You Can Change A Lot For That Family, And It Has Ripple Effects Through The Economy.

Any Social Or Cultural Change Has To Be Made Openly And With People Agreeing. You Don't Get There By Just Pushing An Outsider's Point Of View.

Bill [gates] And I Believe Philanthropy Can Only Be Effective If It Starts Things And Proves Whether They Actually Work Or Not. That's The Place That Governments Often Don't Want To, Or Can't, Work.
