Las que dan a luz dan esperanza al mundo.
"Those that have children give hope to the world."
Does "give a light" mean "have children"?
Because the sentence definately says "dan a luz".

The structure is regional, ie: in Mexico it´s dar luz without "a".

The words are employed figuratively. When a baby is born it sees the light for the first time. Those who bring babies to the light are those who give birth.
