As First Lady, Hillary Rodham Clinton has worked to improve the
lives of people here and around the world. A longtime advocate for children,
Mrs. Clinton has encouraged policies that will help parents balance work and
family, strengthen America's public schools, and provide greater
opportunities to children and youth of all backgrounds, particularly those who
are most vulnerable. She has sought to expand access to quality health care for
all Americans, and to increase the economic security of working families. She
has also worked to build support for the arts and arts education, and has led
an effort to preserve America's important historical and cultural
treasures.
To advance America's foreign policy objectives, Mrs.
Clinton has visited countries around the world at the request of the Secretary
of State and the President. In her travels representing the United States, she
has spoken out on human rights, democracy, and religious tolerance. Her visits
have drawn public attention to successful projects that can be replicated--
from micro-credit programs that have given women and their families economic
opportunities to efforts to build thriving civil societies in emerging
democracies. |
