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 ________

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. Ban Ki-moon
