"We also know that countries are more likely to prosper when they tap the talents of all
their people. And that's why we're investing in the health, education and rights of
women, and working to empower the next generation of women entrepreneurs and
leaders. Because when mothers and daughters have access to opportunity, that's when
economies grow, that's when governance improves."
- President Barack Obama, Remarks at the Millennium Development Goals Summit,
United Nations Headquarters, New York, New York, September 22, 2010

"Around the globe, violence against women is an epidemic. Violence robs women and girls
of their full potential and causes untold human suffering. Violence against women
impedes economic development, threatens peace and prosperity, and inhibits full
participation in civic life. For every woman who has been beaten in her own home, for the
millions of women who have been raped as a weapon of war, for every girl who has been
attacked on her way to school, for all of the children-girls and boys-who have witnessed
this brutality, we must do better."
- Vice President Joe Biden, Statement on the Anniversary of the International Day
for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, November 24, 2010

"It is time for all of us to assume our responsibility to go beyond condemning this
behavior, to taking concrete steps to end it, to make it sociably unacceptable, to recognize
it is not cultural; it is criminal."
- Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Remarks on the Adoption of a United Nations
Security Council Resolution to Combat Sexual Violence in Armed Conflict,
United Nations Headquarters, New York, New York, September 30, 2009
