Hillary Clinton was questioned by Democrat Barbara Boxer on her views of girls and women. The Senator from California held up a picture of a little girls from Afghanistan who had acid thrown in their faces simply because they wanted to attend school. This is an outrage and something the first lady Laura Bush is also interested in stopping.
Senator Boxer also held up a picture of a little girl who had her eyes gorged out by the brothel that owned her. This is sex slavery that is reality for women and girls all over the world.
Senator Clinton said this issue has been important for her since her college days.
In 1995 at a speech in Beijing China, Hillary gave her famous "Women's rights are human rights." speech. This was one of the best speeches. She promises that women and girls issues will be given a priority at the State Department.
She promises to continue her lifelong interest in fighting for women and girls all over the world. Thank you Senator Hillary Clinton for fighting for our rights and for all you do to inspire women and girls all over the world.
