Access Collection is open to all researchers. Access to Clinton Presidential Records is governed by the Presidential Records Act (PRA) (44 USC 2201) and the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) (5 USC 552, as amended) and therefore records may be restricted in whole or in part in accordance with legal exemptions. Copyright Documents in this collection that were prepared by officials for the United States government as part of their official duties are in the public domain. Researchers are advised to consult the copyright law of the United States (17 USC 101), which governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material. Provenance Official records of William Jefferson Clinton’s presidency are housed at the Clinton Presidential Library and administered by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) under the provisions of the Presidential Records Act (PRA). Processed by Staff Archivist, 2012. Previously restricted materials are added as they are released. Scope and Content The materials in FOIA 2006-0198-F (Segment 4) are a selective, not necessarily all inclusive, body of documents responsive to the FOIA. Researchers should consult the archivist about related materials. FOIA 2006-0198-F (Segment 4) contains records regarding the conferences and events attended and hosted by the First Lady, Hillary Rodham Clinton. The key events in this collection consist of the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women, Vital Voices, Beijing +5, and the Early Childhood Development Conference. The records include background materials in preparation for each of these conferences. The United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing was held September 4-15, 1995. Its mission was to address women’s issues such as: poverty, health, education, women’s rights as human rights, empowerment, and women’s participation in government. Hillary Clinton attended with the U.S. Delegation and gave several addresses. Of note were the remarks she gave on September 5th, wherein she delivered the line, "If there is one message that echoes forth from this conference, let it be that human rights are women's rights and women's rights are human rights, once and for all." The result of Clinton Presidential Library’s web site 1 2006-0198-F (Segment 4) http://www.clintonlibrary.gov the conference was the Declaration and Platform for Action which focused on achieving greater equality and opportunities for women around the world. Vital Voices was established in 1997 after the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women to promote the advancement of women as a U.S. foreign policy goal. The organization was created in part by the First Lady and then Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. The Vital Voices organization created conferences around the world bringing together women leaders. Conferences covered in this collection include, but are not limited to: Vienna, Austria in July, 1997; Belfast, Northern Ireland on August 31 - September 2, 1998; Montevideo, Uruguay on October 1- 3, 1998; Istanbul, Turkey on November 19, 1999; and Reykjavik, Iceland on October 8-10, 1999. Beijing +5 was a five-year review of the implementation of the Declaration and Platform for Action held in the United Nations’ General Assembly, June 5 - 9, 2000. The Conference’s theme was, "Women 2000: Gender Equality, Development and Peace for the Twenty-First Century". This follow-up conference allowed countries to report on the progress they had made since the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing. The White House Conference on Early Childhood Development and Learning: What New Research on the Brain Tells Us About Our Youngest Children, was a day-long conference hosted by the President and First Lady on April 17, 1997. The Conference focused on new scientific findings on brain development in young children and highlighted the importance of children's earliest experiences in helping them start out healthy and strong in life. A large section of the records in connection to this conference are background materials and correspondence from persons interested in attending and/or participating in the conference. The vast majority of the records found in the collection come from the Clinton Presidential Records: White House Staff and Office Files. Of those, most are from the First Lady’s Office, in particular from the office of Melanne Verveer. The records include reports, travel arrangements, schedules, speeches, background materials, speech drafts, correspondence, and memorandums. System of Arrangement Records responsive to this FOIA request were found in two collection areas: Clinton Presidential Records: WHORM Subject Files and Clinton Presidential Records: White House Staff and Office Files. The White House Office of Records Management (WHORM) contains a variety of series created to organize and track documents and correspondence. The WHORM Subject file was compiled by the White House Office of Records Management and is a series of categories designated by a letter/number combination. Staff and Office files were maintained at the folder level by staff members within their individual offices and document all levels of administration activity. WHORM files are processed at the document level; whereas, Staff and Office files are processed at the folder level, that is, individual documents are not selected and removed from a folder for processing. While this method maintains folder integrity, it frequently results in the incidental processing of documents that are not wholly responsive to the subject area. The following is a list of documents and folders processed in response to FOIA 2006-0198-F (Segment 4): Clinton Presidential Library’s web site 2 2006-0198-F (Segment 4) http://www.clintonlibrary.gov BOX 1 Clinton Presidential Records: WHORM: Subject File Category Case Number PP005-01 308453 PP005-01 407213 SO004 402158 Clinton Presidential Records: White House Staff and Office Files Caligraphy Office Paulus, Rick Invitation – Ceremony, International Women’s Day [includes insert] 3/11/98 [OA/ID 101873] Program – International Women’s Day 3/11/98 [OA/ID 101873] Chief of Staff Ickes, Harold International Conference on the Status of Women – Beijing – General [OA/ID 9171] Lewis, Ann B +5 (Beijing Plus Five)/Customs [OA/ID 16426] Beijing Plus Five [OA/ID 16429] Hill Event 3/3 [OA/ID 16427] Vital Voices [binder] [1] [OA/ID 16430] Vital Voices [binder] [2] [OA/ID 16430] Vital Voices, October 8-10, 1999 [OA/ID 16426] Vital Voices - Iceland [OA/ID 16426] Women/Beijing +5 [OA/ID 16426] O’Connor, Jennifer Women – Beijing [OA/ID 8165] Mills, Cheryl Beijing Women’s Conference: Beijing II [OA/ID 20303] Beijing Women’s Conference: Beijing Women’s Conference [OA/ID 20303] Beijing Women’s Conference – China Women’s Conference [OA/ID 20303] Beijing Women’s Conference [Costs] [OA/ID 20303] BOX 2 Beijing Women’s Conference: Women’s Conference [OA/ID 20303] Beijing Women’s Conference [Travel] [OA/ID 20303] Domestic Policy Council Cahill, Mary Beth Vital Voices – Iceland [OA/ID 24317] Cooper, Linda Beijing Follow-Up Environment [OA/ID 10285] Beijing Follow-Up: Women [1] [OA/ID 10285] Beijing Follow-Up: Women [2] [OA/ID 10285] Beijing Follow-Up: Women: Violence Against Women in South Africa [book] [OA/ID 10285] O’Leary, Ann Vital Voices [OA/ID 20225] BOX 3 First Lady’s Office Bartley, Ann Misc.

Over the next five years, the coalition’s collective CGI Commitments to Action will directly impact more than 900,000 individuals in over 60 countries worldwide to advance women’s economic participation, address violence against girls and women, and promote women’s leadership in both the public and private sectors. ““This coalition demonstrates that a broad range of partners from the private sector to the grassroots community to the UN offers us a powerful opportunity to accelerate opportunities for girls and women worldwide,” said Chelsea Clinton, who announced this group of commitments on-stage during a plenary session titled, Girl, Uninterrupted: Increasing Opportunity During Adolescence. “No Ceilings data show us that achieving gender equality does not only change the lives and opportunities for girls and women, it changes the world.

This effort, which is part of the ongoing Global Ambassadors Program (#GlobalAmbassadors), a Vital Voices and Bank of America partnership, will include one- on-one mentoring sessions and strategic workshops focused on building organizational management, financial acumen and leadership skills. In the context of the one year anniversary of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, a series of ambitious targets to end extreme poverty and tackle climate change by 2030, the week will center on the theme “Empowering Women Leaders to Advance Sustainable Development,” underscoring the critical role that women can play in moving their nations forward. The Asia Pacific region as a whole, especially South Asia, has significant room for improvement on basic issues such as protecting women from violence or upholding their rights to property, as well as on indicators in key areas including nutrition, health, education, employment and political participation1. The program recognizes that women leaders in the region can help transform their countries and build thriving economies: closing the gender gap in the Asia Pacific labor market could increase GDP by 30 percent per capita2.

  • November 15, 2017 Dear Reader: at the Clinton Foundation, Our Goal Is Simple – Improve Lives Around the World and Here In
    November 15, 2017 Dear Reader: At the Clinton Foundation, our goal is simple – improve lives around the world and here in the United States. For over sixteen years, we have launched programs to make progress on some of the world’s most pressing challenges – for example, making HIV/AIDS treatment more affordable, combating climate change and promoting renewable energy, and fighting the opioid epidemic. In 2016, we continued our efforts to improve lives wherever we work. Some examples of the progress our programs made last year include: The Clinton Development Initiative grew its smallholder farmer outreach in Rwanda, Malawi, and Tanzania, helping more than 150,000 farmers through 2016 by providing critical training, as well as seeds and fertilizer, to increase their yields and incomes; The Clinton Climate Initiative continued assisting with the development of renewable energy projects across the Caribbean, including a 3 MW solar project and a 30 MW geothermal project in Saint Lucia that are expected to bring clean power to half of the country’s households; The Clinton Health Matters Initiative continued its efforts to fight the opioid epidemic in the U.S., negotiating a groundbreaking agreement with Adapt Pharma to provide the first nasal spray version of naloxone, a drug that can reverse opioid overdoses, to all U.S. high schools free of charge; As part of our efforts to promote early childhood development, Too Small to Fail launched a new effort to distribute books to underserved families through diaper banks, opened 21 “Talking

  • Education, Whether at Home Or in the Classroom, Has the Power to Promote Acceptance of Others’ Views and to Challenge Biases and Bigotry
    I AM MALALA: A RESOURCE GUIDE FOR EDUCATORS For more information about the resource guide, visit malala.gwu.edu or www.malala.org. A PREFACE FROM MALALA’S FATHER It is the elder generation’s duty to teach children the universal human values of truth, fairness, justice and equality. For this purpose, we have two institutions: families and schools. Education, whether at home or in the classroom, has the power to promote acceptance of others’ views and to challenge biases and bigotry. In patriarchal societies, women are expected to be obedient. A good girl should be quiet, humble and submissive. She is told not to question her elders, even if she feels that they are wrong or unjust. As a father, I did not silence Malala’s voice. I encouraged her to ask questions and to demand answers. As a teacher, I also imparted these values to the students at my school. I taught my female students to unlearn the lesson of obedience. I taught the boys to unlearn the lesson of so-called pseudo-honor. It is similarly the obligation of schools and universities to instill the principles of love, respect, dignity and universal humanism in their students. Girls and boys alike must learn to think critically, to stand up for what they believe is right and build an effective and healthy society. And these lessons are taught at schools through curriculum. Curricula teach young people how to be confident individuals and responsible citizens. I Am Malala is a story about a young girl’s campaign for human rights, especially a woman’s right to education.

  • Building on a Lifetime of Public Service, President Clinton
    November 9, 2018 Dear Reader: Building on a lifetime of public service, President Clinton established the Clinton Foundation on the simple belief that everyone deserves a chance to succeed, everyone has a responsibility to act, and we all do better when we work together. For nearly two decades, that premise has energized the work of the Foundation in overcoming complex challenges and improving the lives of people across the United States and around the world. As an operating foundation, we work directly, or with strategic partners from the business, government, and nonprofit sectors, to create economic opportunity, improve public health, and inspire civic engagement and service. Our programs are designed to make a real difference today while serving as proven models for tomorrow. The goal of every effort is to use available resources to get better results faster – at the lowest possible cost. Last year, we continued the life-changing work for which many of you know us. Below are examples of the impact our programs had in 2017 – I encourage you to read our 2017 Impact Report for more details. The Clinton Climate Initiative expanded a first-of-its-kind network, the Women in Renewable Energy (WIRE) Network, which mentors and empowers rising women leaders working in the energy sector on islands; The Clinton Development Initiative continued its work providing on-the-ground assistance to farmers in Malawi, Rwanda, and Tanzania, aiding in training on best agricultural practices, providing quality inputs like seeds, and connecting them to markets
