Secretary-General's Message for 2015
Twenty years ago, when the world convened a landmark conference on women's human
right, the devastating conflict in the former Yugoslavia prompted desserved attention to rape and
other war crimes there against civilians. Two decades later, with girls as young as seven not only
targeted but used as weapons _________ (1). violent extremists, it would be easy to lose heart
about the value of international gatherings. But while we have a long way to go to achieve full
equality - with ending gender-based violence a central goal - progress ________ (2) has proven
the enduring value of the 1995 Beijing Conference on Women.
Since the adoption of its Declaration and Platform for Action, more girls have attained more
________ (3) to more education than ever before. The number of women dying in childbirth has
been almost halved. More women are leading businesses, Governments and global
organizations. I welcome these advances. At the same time, on this International Women’s Day,
we must __________ (4) that the gains have been too slow and uneven and that we must do far
more to accelerate progress everywhere.
The world must come together in response to the targeting of women and girls by violent
extremists. From Nigeria and Somalia to Syria and Iraq, the bodies of women have been
transformed into battlegrounds for warriors carrying out specific and systematic strategies, often
on the basis of ethnicity or religion. Women have been attacked for trying to exercise their right to
education and basic services; they have been raped and turned into sex slaves; they have been
given as prizes to fighters, or traded among extremist groups in trafficking networks. Doctors,
nurses and others ________(5) for trying to operate in their professional capacity. The women
human rights defenders brave enough to challenge such atrocities risk - and sometimes lose -
their lives for the cause.
We must take a clear global stance against this total assault on women’s human rights.
The international community needs to translate its outrage into __________ (6) action, including
humanitarian aid, psychosocial services, support for livelihoods and efforts to bring perpetrators to
justice. With women and girls often the first targets of attack, their rights must be at the centre of
our strategy to address this staggering and growing ________ (7). Empowered women and girls
are the best hope for sustainable development following conflict. They are the best drivers of
growth, the best hope for reconciliation and the best buffer against radicalization of youth and the
repetition of cycles of violence.
Even in societies at peace, too many girls and women are still _________ (8) of domestic
abuse, female genital mutilation and other forms of violence that traumatize individuals and
damage whole societies. Discrimination remains a thick barrier that _______ (9). We need to
expand opportunities in politics, business and beyond. We need to change mind-sets, especially
among men, and engage men in becoming active change-agents themselves. And we must back
up our resolve with resources based on the sure understanding that investments in gender
equality generate economic progress, social and political inclusion and other benefits that, in turn,
foster stability and human dignity.
This is a vital year for advancing the cause of women’s human rights. The international
community is hard at work on establishing a new sustainable development agenda that will build
on the Millennium Development Goals and shape policies and social investments for the next
generation. To be truly _______ (10), the post-2015 development agenda must prioritize gender
equality and women’s empowerment. The world will never realize 100 per cent of its goals if 50
per cent of its people cannot realize their full potential. When we unleash the power of women, we
can secure the future for all.
