CONDOLEEZZA RICE & MADELEINE K. ALBRIGHT write a compelling case for equality for women on Politico. An excerpt reads:
“This equality empowers women with the freedom of choice — the universal right to determine their own destinies, careers, beliefs and family structures. When women have the power to make their own choices, the chains of poverty can be broken, families are strengthened and socially constructive values are more likely to be handed down to the young. They can finance their own businesses and contribute to their country’s economy or teach their daughters and sons to promote innovation and creativity that will lift the world’s poorest nations out of poverty.”
