Human Rights Are Women Rights

...

continues to state “all women come together to express their aspirations and concerns,” (Clinton 3) Clinton pulls all the attention to how important women rights are and how bad families around the world need them, she expresses how important it is that women are healthy, educated, and how their families will thrive because of it. Clinton puts emphasis on women being discriminated against at home and at work. She states that if women are freed of violence, their families will flourish. Clinton uses logos to let all men and women understand that the only way a family will flourish is through the successful equal treatment of women. Clinton also uses an anaphora by repeating “I have met” (Clinton 10) while talking about different situations women and their families face.

Hillary Clinton is one of many feminist activist whose voice is being heard. Similar to the black rights activist who are resurfacing in these times of the insidious black oppression, she too fights the fight which began in the 50’s: women’s rights in a man’s world. Her rhetoric turns the heads of many, but such a fight will not be won with words, after all men have a tendency not to listen. No, shear numbers will be the tipping point for a mass of women fighting for their equal share in the pie that is social status. Some even believe in the Women’s Rights propaganda, however their limited understanding of how truly deep the suffering of women has progressed to is limiting women’s abilities to fight. As Martin Luther King Junior once wrote while fighting the laws which weighed down the souls of his fellow black Americans, "People with good intentions but limited understanding are more dangerous than those with no good will left in their bodies.”
