International Women's Day: STATEMENT BY UNDP ADMINISTRATOR, HELEN CLARK

Source:

8 MARCH 2013

 

On this International Women’s Day, we imagine a world free of violence against women and girls, a world in which women and girls do not fear being attacked in their homes or communities, and one where would-be perpetrators know they will be held accountable for their crimes.

 

The theme for International Women’s Day this year is “A promise is a promise: Time for action to end violence against women.”
