«Taking action is a choice.
It is a choice:
– whether or not we stop violence against women,
– whether or not we create a positive masculinity which promotes gender equality, in times of peace and in times of war.
It is a choice:
– whether or not to support a woman,
– whether or not to protect her,
– whether or not to defend her rights,
– whether or not to fight on her side in countries ravaged by conflict.
It is a choice: whether or not to build peace in the countries in conflict.
Taking action means saying ‘no’ to indifference.»
