From Kabul to Kyiv and beyond, women and girls are on the front lines in the struggle for freedom and human dignity. On this #InternationalWomensDay my heart is with all those fighting for a better, peaceful and more equal future. #IWD2022

Last week the Albright Institute @Wellesley was thrilled to welcome 40 young women into the Albright Fellows network. The group presented innovative solutions to global challenges & I was deeply impressed by their leadership, creativity and diverse backgrounds. @AlbrightInst

It was the honor of my life to serve the American people by defending their interests and values around the world. I will never forget walking into the State Department 25 years ago today. Passing by the portraits of my predecessors, I could feel the walls shake just a little
