We’re so honored and thankful that all of you were able to join us today. Download yoko ogawa revenge pdf free. Thank you so much.

I want to introduce myself. My name is Meighan Stone. I’m a senior fellow here in the Women and Foreign Policy program at CFR, and previous to joining the team here was the president at the Malala Fund. So I worked with Malala Yousafzai the last three years.

So I’m all the more honored to be accompanied by someone that was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize today. Our mission here at the Women and Foreign Policy program is to analyze how elevating the status of women and girls around the world advances our U.S. Foreign policy objectives. So to that end, this conversation is actually on the record today.

I know many of our conversations at CFR have Chatham House rules. Today is not that day. We actually want you to engage fully. If you have one of these with you, I’m going to ask you to tweet.

Don’t be afraid of Twitter. You can use the—I’m looking at you, Anne—thank you. She’s got her phone out, ready to go. You can take—you can take photos, you know, if there’s something that’s meaningful that you hear today.

If you use the hashtag #CFRWomen—so #CFRWomen—our team can better find your comments and thoughts and retweet them and share them more widely. So please engage with us on social platforms. So for our program today, we’re going to be having a conversation with our speaker for the first thirty minutes, and then around 11:00 a.m. We’re excited to open it up to all of your questions, your thoughts, and your feedback. I want to start by just expressing some special gratitude to our friends who are joining us today from the Oslo Freedom Forum and from the Human Rights Foundation because they helped make today possible. If you want to raise your hands, I just want to say thank you to you for your partnership and for making today possible.

(Applause.) They have an event here on Monday—the Oslo Freedom Forum does—with human rights activists from around the world. So if you want to join in, you can talk to them after today’s session. I know they would love to share information with you and warmly welcome you. So let’s get started. Today, we are so honored to welcome Mu Sochua for a conversation about her experiences in government and how women’s political participation can help advance both reforms and gender equality.
