In celebration of 100th anniversary of International Women's Day, is a very important thing for us all to realize how great the progress achieved by women throughout the world.

But with this progress, various unequal treatment still happened. Great potentials possessed by women to support economic growth, prosperity, social progress, peace and good governance remain unanswered in the various regions of the world.

Violence against the other sex are not only destroying the lives of women, adolescents, young women, families and communities, but also claimed a variety of talent they have and desperately needed by the world.

In order to commemorate International Women's Day, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton with First Lady Michelle Obama in a memorial service in Washington, DC later will announce the names of 10 people receiving awards the International Women of Courage Awards from around the world.

If we want to build a world more peaceful, prosperous, and just, we can not leave half the world's population. We will not be successfully overcome the challenges we face are related to the environment, security, economic, and other things if women were not involved at all levels of society.

U.S. committed to empower women not because it is the right thing but because it is a good thing. When women are making progress, then the state is also making progress.

Numerous studies show investment against women are positively related to alleviating poverty and improving welfare.

Education for girls is the most effective development investments that can be done with great positive consequences for his future and his family.

Restricting the participation of women and let their potential is not used, mean trick and deceive the world of women. We desperately need the talents, experience, and leadership of women.

Things like that and the countless contributions from organizations and individuals as they push for changes in various places. Many are doing so with remarkable courage and often followed by a high risk. They have changed the world for the better
