Hillary Rodham Clinton
Remarks to the U.N. 4th World Conference on Women Plenary Session
delivered 5 September 1995, Beijing, China

Excerpt:

rought us to this point, distinguished delegates, and guests:

I would like to thank the Secretary General for inviting me to be part of this important United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women. This is truly a celebration, a celebration of the contributions women make in every aspect of life: in the home, on the job, in the community, as mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, learners, workers, citizens, and leaders.

It is also a coming together, much the way women come together every day in every country. We come together in fields and factories, in village markets and supermarkets, in living rooms and board rooms. Whether it is while playing with our children in the park, or washing clothes in a river, or taking a break at the office water cooler, we come together and talk about our aspirations and concern. And time and again, our talk turns to our children and our families. However different we may appear, there is far more that unites us than divides us. We share a common future, and we are here to find common ground so that we may help bring new dignity and respect to women and girls all over the world, and in so doing bring new strength and stability to families as well.

Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton (born October 26, 1947) is the 67th United States Secretary of State, serving in the administration of President Barack Obama. She was a United States Senator for New York from 2001 to 2009. As the wife of the 42nd President of the United States, Bill Clinton, she was the First Lady of the United States from 1993 to 2001. In the 2008 election, Clinton was a leading candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination.

@Undercovergirlism

[Undercovergirlism]

You bitter guys.....understand this. Kids need their mothers more than their fathers. We are better homemakers. Trained for years to be so and now we juggle it all. Just a fact. Get over it.

women are made to take care of the children through the DVcourts weather they like it or not. and men have to fight to get there rights have equal time share with their kids while being demanded to pay child support.. STOP these antiquated laws that were put in place in 1975 when the majority of women were "homemakers/housewifes" .. men and women are gainfully employed in equal numbers.

[twinslawncareservice]

what about Mens Rights and Fathers Rights.. Gay rights... these are all human rights.. why is it treated any different... we all are suppose to be equal.. stop talking about rights and stick with the word HUMAN RIGHTS ! stop calling it womens rights, gay rights. mens rights, Fathers rights.. etc... we are suppose to be treated equal ..

If women are educated about the power they can gain from some of the Domestic Violence then there will be abuse of the system that readily is waiting 2offer so much to women who "want out of the marriage & wish 2receive free goverment$ and assistance The same way food stamp abuse exist.The flooding knowledge of the benefits that R awarded to women when they make claims of domestic violence in the home will allow 4women 2use the courts 2gain the children, home, finances &receive government help

@GoddessWarrior2012 ... wow..your claiming to be Superior simply because you were born a woman.. LOL... if women are superior then how does that equate to equality of sex.

@GoddessWarrior2012 Haha grow a penis bitch...shit kicks ass!

[GoddessWarrior2012]

I despise ALL SEXIST comments that have been remarked by any of the previous entries. And I must say that these men are disgusting, immature, and total pigs. You don't even deserve a woman. If it weren't for a woman you wouldn't even be here. Mother Earth cries when women are hurt and when women are hurt, the planet is hurt. In a way we are SUPERIOR to men since we are MORE connected to the planet and it's energies. We gave birth to you.GROW UP LOSERS!
