I want to quote the entire speech. All of it. But I’ll constrain myself and just post this: “But mostly, let me just thank you for being here and for being in the positions that you are in and making a difference by setting an example and providing the role-modeling that is so necessary for not only girls and women to see, but for boys and men to understand there have to be changes in attitude, not just in policies and in law, in order for us to achieve the kind of equal rights and equal responsibilities that is our birthright.”

Also luv that she’s advocating for the UN to better deal with sexual violence as a weapon of war. I really wish I had been at this event and gotten to talk to everyone there!

@rodriguez – It’s true. People (men) often don’t seem to grasp this. Women’s issues have impact for women and families, yes. But they have economic impact, they have environmental impact — how does anyone expect to get anything fixed in countries where half the population is rendered impotent?

In the developing world, there is only one solid proven way to combat poverty, and that is to educate and empower women.

I have to say I increasingly adore Hillary Clinton and her refusal to back down on this topic. Go Hillary (she said in a rather fan girly kind of way).
