“Women’s voices have never been more vital than now.”
They were the words of Hillary Clinton when she spoke at Vital Voices Global Leadership Awards in Washington DC.
It was her second appearance in as many days, after earlier attending the Girls Inc. New York Luncheon.
Rocking a new hairdo and the same red worn by many in support of International Women’s Day the 69-year old praised those who had taken part in the day, including the largely female audience at Vital Voices.
“Our voices have always been vital but they have never been more vital than they are right now,” Hillary said.
“Not just in far away countries but right here.”
“And we are just getting started.”
She said International Women’s Day was always important but this year it felt even more significant.
“These are uncertain, even trying times. But as we all stop to look fear in the face the result has not only been passion but action,” she said
“And I have never been more confident that we can take the next thing that comes along and move forward with optimism into a better future for women, for men, for all.”
