| President William J. Clinton: "We are putting our efforts to protect and advance women's
rights where they belong--in the mainstream of American foreign
policy."
First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton: "...women's rights are human rights--and human rights are
women's rights."
Secretary
of State Madeleine K. Albright:
"Despite recent gains, women remain an undervalued and
underdeveloped human resource. For when women are empowered,
families are strengthened, socially-constructive values are taught,
sexually-transmitted disease is slowed and the global economy--upon
which so many American jobs depend--expands."
