Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton at the TEDWomen Conference (script)
The Ronald Reagan Building. Washington, D.C.
Summary
Even in the United States, men and women are not equal. In the world, there are many inequalities. The world has its problems such as; women can't go to school, girls have to get married early and there is violence against women. And then, those problems are hidden and even the victims can't talk about them. If the countries send girls to school even just for one year, their lives and countries can be changed dramatically. The countries, men and boys have to admit to value not only their sisters and daughters but all women and girls, and to invest in them.
Every woman and girl in the world have to be empowered and have a chance to live up their dreams and aspirations as well. There are many things to do together for them. It's worth for us, says the speaker Hillary Clinton .
I'm a Japanese woman. Although Japan receives attention that there's the discrimination against women by the United Nations, there's no person who talks about the problem like Hillary Clinton in this TED Talk. Japanese people have to know and talk about our women's issues more.
