“ Congress, and for her invaluable work in support of women's rights as
co-chair of the Congressional Caucus on Women's Issues.
In the United States and in countries around the world, women are
agents of change, development, and prosperity, contributing in so many
ways to the well-being of their families and communities. There is
clear and abundant evidence that when women thrive, the entire world
thrives as well. ”

“ In all regions, women are less likely than men to receive pay
commensurate to the value of their work, be given a voice in their
national governments, or have access to basic human rights such as the
right to an education. In many countries, the United States included,
domestic violence is further reducing the opportunities available to
women and girls to lead happy, healthy lives. H. Res. 194 is an
important step towards guaranteeing the basic rights of women and girls
worldwide by calling for an end to this discrimination. ”
