Equality and development will not be achieved however if peace is not understood from women's' point of view.

Every second, every day, every year, we fail to address demand for reproductive health and family planning services. Lives are lost, and girls' opportunities to thrive and contribute to their country's development shrink. These are real people.

What we need is to understand that women won't often apply for a job until they're almost 95% qualified. So they tick the box and say, 'If I can't do it all, I can't be qualified.' Men look at the same job, and as long as they get to about 60%, they'll apply.

I'm not sure that it matters as much to women as to our male colleagues to have the public adulation and be on the public mind.

I didn't let anyone push me into things I didn't want to do where my career was concerned. So why did I crumble when it came to men?

I never saw myself as an individual who had any particular leadership powers.

I will work with whoever is leader of the DUP.

My career proves that you can be on top for a long period of time by doing things that come naturally.
