On Wednesday, October 14, the day after the first Democratic presidential debate, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright will campaign on behalf of Hillary Clinton in Iowa. Albright, the first woman to serve as Secretary of State, will speak at Hillary for Iowa organizing events in Sioux City, Council Bluffs, and West Des Moines.
At the events, Albright will discuss Hillary Clinton's commitment to fighting for women and families at home and around the world - a commitment the two have long shared. In 1995, then-First Lady Clinton and then-United Nations Ambassador MadeleineAlbright led the U.S. delegation to the UN Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, where Clinton proclaimed that "women's rights are human rights."
Albright will also discuss Clinton's work to elevate gender equality as a key pillar of U.S. foreign policy, advance women's economic empowerment, champion programs to prevent and respond to gender-based violence, and spearhead public-private partnerships to improve the status of women and girls.
