I have yet to see a drama that puts forward women who are successful and have a family. Women are nearly always seen as victims.

Too often older women are seen as victims but I know lots of formidable women who have marvellous jobs as well as a full erotic life and children and friends and family.

I rise today to offer a formal and heartfelt apology to all the victims of lynching in our history and for the failure of the United States Senate to take action when action was most needed.

Racism oppresses its victims but also binds the oppressors who sear their consciences with more and more lies until they become prisoners of those lies. They cannot face the truth of human equality because it reveals the horror of the injustices they commit.

In Kenya women are the first victims of environmental degradation because they are the ones who walk for hours looking for water who fetch firewood who provide food for their families.

The dream doesn't lie in victimization or blame it lies in hard work determination and a good education.

Designers are very fickle. I never wanted to be a victim of that. You're in one minute out the next.

When I started dating I had this kind of Romeo and Juliet fateful romantic idea about love which was almost that you were a victim and there was a lot of pain involved and that was how it should be.

In times of conflict war poverty or religious fundamentalism women and children are the first and most numerous victims. Women need all their courage today.

Beatbullying's 'The Big March 2012' is such a brilliant campaign and I am very proud to be a part of it. I have been a victim of cyber bullying myself and I know firsthand just how hurtful it can be. People think that they can hide behind computers and send nasty and hurtful comments to people and this is wrong.
