The emancipation of women, the achievement of full equality between the
sexes, is one of the most important, though less acknowledged prerequisites of
peace. The denial of such equality perpetrates an injustice against one half
of the world’s population and promotes in men harmful attitudes and habits that
are carried from the family to the workplace, to political life, and ultimately
to international relations. There are no grounds, moral, practical, or
biological, upon which such denial can be justified. Only as women are
welcomed into full partnership in all fields of human endeavour will the moral
and psychological climate be created in which international peace can emerge.
