Claro que as mulheres fazem diferença no mundo: elas são exemplos de pacificação, compreensão, amor. Na verdade, elas expandem o seu potencial de todas as maneiras. Não são exemplos só de sensibilidade e empatia. Hoje, a mulher também é exemplo de poder. Claro, um poder limitado ainda, mas muitas ocupas cargos de lideranças no mundo todo.
