The potential 2016 presidential candidate galvanized the U.N. commemoration of International Womens Day, repeating her resounding declaration as first lady at the 1995 U.N. womens conference in Beijing that human rights are womens rights and womens rights are human rights.
Clinton said that important progress has been made, citing the increasing number of girls in school and women in elected office, and the repeal of many discriminatory laws.
Yet for all we have achieved together, this remains the great unfinished business of the 21st century, she said.
In the nearly two decades since Beijing, Clinton said, no country in the world has achieved full participation, and women and girls still comprise the majority of the worlds unhealthy, unfed and unpaid.

At 66, most folks are looking to slow down a bit, reap the rewards of a lifetime of hard work, find a hammock, some sun, a bottle of wine, kick back. Then theres Hillary Clinton. Shes not like the rest of us.
The former U.S. secretary of state and first lady doesnt know the meaning of easing off the pedal. Shes giving as many speeches today as she ever did as a politician or diplomat, perhaps trying to stay sharp for what many believe is an inevitable second run for the White House.
Ms. Clinton was in Vancouver on Wednesday night to speak at an event sponsored by the Womens Leadership Circle of the citys Board of Trade. In a short speech she charges $200,000 a pop, according to The New York Times she kept her remarks mostly focused on empowerment and the increasingly important role women are playing in politics and business around the globe. There is still a way to go, she said, and as long as shes alive, she intends to fight to see more girls and women get the opportunities shes had.
For most in attendance, Ms. Clinton is an icon and a role model, an alpha female whos intimidated by no one and who believes that the human brain is the worlds greatest weapon. While her speech wasnt particularly captivating, she delivered it with ease and grace and gave the majority of her audience what it was looking for: hope and inspiration.
Afterward, she took questions from former New Brunswick premier Frank McKenna, who asked her about Ukraine. The former secretary of state gave the audience a history of the region, but stopped short of repeating the incendiary remarks she made earlier this week about Crimea. During a speech in California, Ms. Clinton said Hitler invaded Czechoslovakia on much the same pretext Russian President Vladimir Putin has offered for his intrusion in Ukraine.
Ms. Clinton won worldwide respect for the job she did at the U.S. State Department. In her four-year stint, she travelled to more than 80 countries touting the benefits of smart power otherwise known as brains over brawn while enhancing her own reputation for being tough as nails. You certainly dont imagine her ever being intimidated sitting across from the likes of Mr. Putin. I know who Id put my money on in a staredown.
This aspect of her personality is one of the reasons many Americans, particularly Democrats, are hoping that shell declare for the partys 2016 presidential nomination. She would be a virtual lock to become the nominee. Many Democrats now believe she would have been better than Barack Obama as president certainly tougher, anyway. The Republicans are afraid of her, as well.
A political overachiever who was often mocked for her fashion choices, especially her love of the pantsuit, Ms. Clinton is now seen as almost hip. Her new cool was helped by an Internet meme of a couple of years ago inspired by a picture of her, sitting aboard a State Department jet and wearing big, dark sunglasses while reading her BlackBerry. In the words of Times columnist Maureen Dowd, Ms. Clinton looked like a dont mess with me commander getting ready to ice somebody.
Her husband, former president Bil Clinton, has remained publicly mum about her ambitions, but its no secret he wants her to run. He believes the job should have been hers seven years ago. But thats also the sense of entitlement many worry about the sense its written somewhere that a Clinton must occupy the White House again. Its that odour of privilege that rubbed many people the wrong way last time.
Still, most expect her to do it again, and win this time. Shed be 69 at the inauguration, but few see her age as a barrier. Hollywood is already raising millions on her behalf. Many of Mr. Obamas chief electoral strategists have jumped aboard. She will publish a tome this summer about her time as secretary of state, and the book tour could become the de facto launch for her nomination campaign.
Here is the original post:
NATIONAL HARBOR, Md., March 7 (UPI) -- Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee took shots at Hillary Clinton from the stage at the Conservative Political Action Congress, drawing out what might be the battle lines in a potential 2016 face-off.
Huckabee, a conservative darling who ran for president in 2008, said he won't make a decision on whether to run again in 2016 until after the midterms this fall. But if he does, and Clinton runs as well, Huckabee plans to paint a giant Benghazi-shaped target on her back.
"With all due respect to Hillary Clinton, it does make a difference why they died, he said, referring to Clinton's comments at a Senate hearing last year about the attacks on the U.S. consulate in Libya.
But, unlike fellow potential candidate Sen. Rand Paul, Huckabee said he would not bring up former President Bill Clinton's infidelities in a campaign against his wife.
"I personally dont like to see us get into the personal issues of candidates because once you go down that road its hard to ever put it in reverse and go back, he told reporters. Bill Clinton is not going to be on the ballot in 2016 or 2014 -- its very possible his wife will. What she said, what she did, how she has served both as a senator and secretary of state, so I think thats all fair play.
