Empowering Women and Girls Through Public-Private Partnerships
“Focusing on the well-being of women and girls promotes democracy, promotes stability, creates more opportunity in societies. That’s just an absolute fact. And it is totally uncontroverted in study after study. If you want to see societies emerge from instability and conflict, you have to focus on women and girls.
If you look around the world at the areas that are unstable and are incubators of terrorism or other forms of violence, you will find women and girls being oppressed, being denied rights, being marginalized in a way that is dehumanizing… it is something that I see as Secretary of State that is absolutely integral to our approach to the kind of better and safer world that we are all trying to create.” —Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, January 2010
