"THE ROAD TO THE INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S CONFERENCE"
This fall, thousands of women from throughout the world will
participate in the Fourth United Nations' World Conference on
Women in Beijing, China. Building on previous world conferences
on the environment, population, and social development, this
year's conference has the potential to give women and families
stronger voices in today's rapidly changing world.
Over the past two-and-one-half years, I have been privileged
to meet with and listen to thousands of women in our own country,
as well as on other continents. And I am convinced that no matter
what country we live in, what color our skin, or what religion we
practice, women around the world share a desire for strong
families, economic security, legal rights, basic and better
health care and education, personal safety, an end to violence
and an opportunity to realize our own potential.
Too often the most pressing concerns of women are dismissed
as soft or marginal to economic and social progress. In fact,
these "traditional" women's issues hold the key to progress and
prosperity around the world. Simply put, our global future
depends on the willingness of every nation to invest in its
people, especially women and children.
It is my hope that the international women's conference will
provide a forum for understanding and cooperation as well as
concrete steps that help women achieve their goals. I also hope
that women in our country will lend their voices to this
discussion as we seek to build a more peaceful, harmonious and
prosperous world for our families.
