Being In Jail Is Difficult Too Because

I Have Led An Unusual Life. I Have Buried A Father Killed At Age 50 And Two Brothers Killed In The Prime Of Their Lives. I Raised My Children As A Single Mother When My Husband Was Arrested And Held For Eight Years Without A Conviction - A Hostage To My Political Career.

It Is One Thing Being Able To Contest An Election And To Give The People Hope That I Can Be The Next Prime Minister. It Is A Totally Different Situation Where The People Of Pakistan Are Told That The Results Are Already Taken And The Leader Of Your Choice Is Banned.

Clearly It's Not Easy For Woman In Modern Society, No Matter Where We Live. We Still Have To Go Extra Mile To Prove That We Are Equal To Men. We Have To Work Longer Hours And Make More Sacrifices. And We Must Emotionally Protect Ourselves From Unfair, Often Vicious Attacks Made On Us.

As A Woman Leader, I Thought I Brought A Different Kind Of Leadership. I Was Interested In Women's Issues, In Bringing Down The Population Growth Rate... As A Woman, I Entered Politics With An Additional Dimension - That Of A Mother.

Democracy Is The Best Revenge.
