Hillary: Women Are Leading the Fight Against ‘Violent Extremism’ and ‘Climate Change’

EXCERPT:

CLINTON: "As hard as it is to imagine letting go of the peace that is so hard won, there will be forces at work in the country from all sides to undermine it, to act as though it did not apply to them to do everything possible to prevent it from becoming the reality in the lives of Colombians that it can be. Yes, the work will require difficult decisions, transitional justice and economic viability. But peace is truly within reach. So, from peace processes like the one we celebrate today to important steps that nations and institutions are taking to recognize the role of women in confronting violent extremism and addressing climate change and standing up against terrorism and conflicts of all kinds, we’ve got to continue this work. And I am pleading that our government will continue its leadership role on behalf of peace in the world because the world must continue this work with or without U.S. involvement."
