+Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails....

REMARKS FOR THE UNITED NATIONS FOURTH WORLD CONFERENCE ON WOMEN
BEIJING, CHINA
SEPTEMBER 5, 1995
We come together in fields and in factories. In village markets and
supermarkets. In living rooms and board rooms.
Whether it is while playing with our children in the park or washing
clothes in a river, or taking a break at the office water cooler, we
come together and talk about our aspirations and concerns. And time and
again, our talk turns to our children and our families.
However different we may be, there is far more that unites us than
divides us. We share a common future. And we are here to find common
ground so that we may help bring new dignity and respect to women and
girls all over the world -- and in so doing, bring new strength and
stability to families as well.
What we are learning around the world is that, if women are healthy and
educated, their families will flourish. If women are free from violence,
their families will flourish. If women have a chance to work and earn as
full and equal partners in society, their families will flourish.
And when families flourish, communities and nations will flourish.
That is why every woman, every man, every child, every family, and every
nation on our planet has a stake in the discussion that takes place
here.
Women comprise more than half the world's population. Women are 70
percent of the world's poor, and two-thirds of those who are not taught
to read and write.
Women are the primary caretakers for most of the world's children and
elderly. Yet much of the work we do is not valued -not by economists,
not by historians, not by popular culture, not by government leaders.
At this very moment, as we sit here, women around the world are giving
birth, raising children, cooking meals, washing clothes, cleaning
houses, planting crops, working on assembly lines, running companies,
and running countries.
As an American, I want to speak up for women in my own country -- women
who are raising children on the minimum wage, women who can't afford
health care or child care, women whose lives are threatened by violence,
including violence in their own homes.
I want to speak up for mothers who are fighting for good schools, safe
neighborhoods, clean air and clean airwaves. . . for older women, some
of them widows, who have raised their families and now find that their
skills and life experiences are not valued in the workplace. . . for
women who are working all night as nurses, hotel clerks, and fast food
chefs so that they can be at home during the day with their kids. . .
and for women everywhere who simply don't have time to do everything
they are called upon to do each day.
Speaking to you today, I speak for them, just as each of us speaks for
women around the world who are denied the chance to go to school, or see
a doctor, or own property, or have a say about the direction of their
lives, simply because they are women.
Every woman deserves the chance to
realize her God-given potential.
We also must recognize that women will never gain full dignity until
their human rights are respected and protected.
Our goals for this conference, to strengthen families and societies by
empowering women to take greater control over their own destinies,
cannot be fully achieved unless all governments -here and around the
world -- accept their responsibility to protect and promote
internationally recognized human rights.
It is no longer acceptable to discuss women's rights as
separate from human rights.
These abuses have continued because, for too long, the history of women
has been a history of silence. Even today, there are those who are
trying to silence our words.
It is a violation of human rights when babies are denied food, or
drowned, or suffocated, or their spines broken, simply because they are
born girls.
It is a violation of human rights when women and girls are sold into the
slavery of prostitution.
It is a violation of human rights when women are doused with gasoline,
set on fire and burned to death because their marriage dowries are
deemed too small.
It is a violation of human rights when individual women are raped in
their own communities and when thousands of women are subjected to rape
as a tactic or prize of war.
It is a violation of human rights when a leading cause of death
worldwide among women ages 14 to 44 is the violence they are subjected
to in their own homes.
It is a violation of human rights when young girls are brutalized by the
painful and degrading practice of genital mutilation.
It is a violation of human rights when women are denied the right to
plan their own families, and that includes being forced to have
abortions or being sterilized against their will.
If there is one message that echoes forth from this conference, it is
that human rights are women's rights.... And women's rights are human
rights.
Let us not forget that among those rights are the right to speak freely.
And the right to be heard.
these are my girls
without them i fail to exist...
oh yeah and this is sshyang nyun and me
