We have
struggled to end violence against women for as long as any
of us can remember. But today -- finally -- I believe we
stand at a global tipping point.
We can
raise our boys to understand that empathy, compassion and
talking about their feelings -- especially feelings of anger
and isolation -- is not "girl stuff." It's people stuff.
Women
around the world are making real change in every way imaginable
– they are leading families, communities, corporations,
and governments – and we can’t move the agenda forward without
the full recognition of women’s power-to. If the rules of
the game aren’t strengthening women’s voices, then we must
be bold enough to redefine them. Because if we are serious
about creating lasting solutions to global problems, women
can’t just have a seat at the table; we must transform the
very shape of the table.
