First female Prime Minister of Norway, first female Director-General of WHO, author of the famous sustainable development report.
Sometimes you must speak truth even if it is unpopular. A leader must be ready to stand alone if it is right.
I am a fortunate woman because I could serve. Luck is not just chance, it is the opportunity to help others.
Health is a fundamental human right, not a privilege. All people must have access to quality healthcare.
Democracy cannot exist without truth. We must protect truth and transparency in politics.
Without gender equality, there is no sustainable development. Women and men must have equal rights and opportunities.
Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising future generations—this is our goal.
I have lived a life in service. From Prime Minister to WHO—there was always one principle: to help people.
