It allows 55 00:03:13,587 --> 00:03:16,440 us to continue to diversify ourselves 56 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,650 and tackle the mission at different 57 00:03:18,650 --> 00:03:20,761 ways .

We all do exactly the same 107 00:06:02,247 --> 00:06:04,440 job . Women's equality is important 108 00:06:04,450 --> 00:06:07,410 because it says that the job is what 109 00:06:07,410 --> 00:06:09,299 matters who are mission first and 110 00:06:09,299 --> 00:06:11,577 anybody that's qualified to do the job . 111 00:06:11,577 --> 00:06:13,521 It shouldn't matter their gender , 112 00:06:13,521 --> 00:06:15,632 their race , their background , where 113 00:06:15,632 --> 00:06:17,577 they come from .
