“But above all, UN Day is a day on which we resolve to do more, more to protect those caught up in armed conflict, to fight climate change and avert nuclear catastrophe; more to expand opportunities for women and girls, and to combat injustice and impunity.”

I'm glad Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon places the rights of women/girls on the list of priorities with climate change, armed conflict, and nuclear catastrophe. We tend to forget how soft power can have as much harm on individuals, women and girls especially, as hard power has on the lives of any population.
