Hillary: 11-day Tour in Africa
Today Secretary of State Hillary Clinton jumpstarted her 11-day trip to seven different African countries. She will be making stops in Kenya, South Africa, Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Nigeria, Liberia and Cape Verde. In recent blog posts we have written about the terror and abuse that women and girls face in the Democratic Republic of Congo and other nations. Secretary Clinton’s extensive, solution-oriented trip shows her dedication to achieving human rights throughout Africa.
According to the State Department, “the Secretary will emphasize Africa as a place of opportunity, built on an ethic of responsibility.”
The State Department is posting a Travel Diary, which you can find here.
According to the Travel Diary:
“Secretary Clinton will stress the importance of social and economic entrepreneurship, encouraging a new generation of young African scientists, small business leaders, entrepreneurs and civic leaders who are solving real problems and establishing new models for economic success and social advances, with women as full partners in this progress. And she will discuss ways to foster good regional governance, partnering with regional leaders to prevent conflict and violence, including gender-based violence, democratic erosions, and transnational threats.”
