The speech I choose is about women’s rights is human’s rights. The reason why I chose this speech is because I think in most of countries around the world don’t give women their rights they need. Some women don’t have right to speak when her husband is talking, women don’t have right to talk to another man because her family and relatives be afraid of society, women cannot work because men is one who should work and earn money and a man can never live his life depending on his wife’s salary. There are so many things that women are getting or are still restricted from doing. Even girls are too, they cannot wear short clothes in front of their father, uncle, brother, grandfather and even their friends because society thinks that girl might get raped. Because of these situation, I chose this speech so people in the society might think again when they talk about women’s and girls. …show more content…
The speaker is telling that women should get every right they need and have a right to make their decisions. They also have right to speak up and how to rule their own world. The name of the speaker is Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton. The speech was delivery for United Nations 4th World Conference for women speech. According to the New York times, after leaving the position of secretary of state in 2013 Hillary Clinton assembled a group of longtime female aides to discuss what she wanted to do as she contemplated another presidential run. She told them about the issue affecting women and girls at the Clinton
“Human rights are women’s rights, and women’s rights are humans rights. Let us not forget that among those rights are the right to speak freely - and the right to be heard,” Hillary Clinton once spoke. Hillary Clinton was appointed to speak at the Women Plenary Session at the 4th United Nations World Conference in 1995. In her speech, Clinton speaks to shine a light on the unfair treatment and to educate on what rights women should have, as well as to strengthen families and societies by empowering women to take control of their own destinies. This powerful message is directed to the audience of various world leaders at the United Nations 4th World Conference on Women Plenary Session in Beijing, China. In her speech, “Women’s Rights Are Human Rights,” Hillary Clinton uses emotion to educate, persuade, and make the audience of world leaders feel something, known as pathos. She also repeats words and phrases to put an emphasis on certain injustices, which evokes the audience to want to make a change for women’s rights, making the speech effective.
On September 5, 1995, First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton spoke in front of delegates from 180 countries at the United Nations Fourth World Conference of Women. There, she was to deliver one of her greatest speeches on a topic that affects all of us; human rights, more notably, the rights of women and children. In her speech, Clinton persuaded those in attendance, utilizing ethos, pathos and logos, to understand the importance of women’s rights and to demand that they take steps to ensure that women receive the same liberties as men.
The speech “Women’s Right to Suffrage” by Susan B. Anthony, is the most compelling and persuasive because she explains to the United States that, “Women are people, people are citizens and should be treated equally”. In 1789 the Constitution was created and it ensured equality for all. Women and African American slaves were still not being treated equally in 1873 almost 85 years after the Constitution was put into action. Within the speech many rhetorical devices were included to create a sense of passion, authority and credibility into her powerful speech.
Her main purpose is to appeal everyone listening to the speech, especially, the government that women’s rights are human rights. This is explicitly stated as a main claim, or conclusion, one of the paragraphs in the speech. “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” (Clinton ). Clinton explicitly states her main claim so that there is no confusion about what her purpose is. During times of an inequality towards women, a clear statement of purpose will benefits a speaker like Clinton, because all the women needs her guidance. Clinton’s main claim is supported through deductive logic in the forms of an enthymeme. She states that women work all day like men; they work in home, or on the job, or in the community, as mother, wives, workers, and leaders. The unstated premise that necessarily leads to the conclusion is that if women could do everything that men could do than there should be equal rights. Her second premise is that women are human to. There are many women who get underpaid, or don’t get treatment, or get abuse, or babies are suffocated just because they are born girls. Therefore, it leads to the conclusion that women are humans too and women’s rights should be the human
Hilary Clinton is a strong and effective choice to serve as a messenger and manager of women’s rights globally. She has proven herself as a fierce advocate for women’s rights due to her strong and consistent record of effectively championing women’s rights, economically and politically. She has remained consistent throughout her career as an advocate for gender equality, human rights, and women’s rights policies. Throughout her time in the Senate, she advocated women’s rights and used her status around the world to shine a light on issues of importance for women and girls. Hillary Clinton’s unwavering stance has supported that women lives are just as valuable as any other lives, women’s rights are human’s rights, and anything less is unacceptable. Hilary Clinton understands that the world needs to recognize the unfair injustice being committed against women’s rights. She chooses to speak out, instead of remaining silent. The world must understand and recognize that in the fight for justice, by remaining silent and turning a blind eye, which is considered the same as supporting injustices. Hillary Clinton suggested in her speech the world should no longer ignore the wrongs being globally committed against women, around the globe in today’s society, the issues of inhumanity and injustices are rising as the value on women lives declines.
She uses powerful and compellingly effective words. She states that: “It is a violation of human rights when babies are denied food, or drowned, or suffocated, or their spines broken, simply because they are born girls.” She tries to emotionally convince the reader and show how women’s rights are taken which effectively strengthen her argument. Adding to this idea death induces sadness, "When a leading cause of death worldwide among women ages 14 to 44 is the violence they are subjected to in their own homes by their own relatives." Those quotes that illustrate appeals to pathos makes the reader feel emotionally toward the issue, which creates a shared emotional experience between Hillary Clinton and her intended
Greco-Roman mythology is rich in names, characters, and events. Dozens of gods, goddesses, and mortal women and men participate in a variety of activities that reflect or exemplify behaviors and power relations in Greek and Roman societies. A wealth of literature was written about the relationships between mortals and immortals in Greco-Roman mythology. Much was written and said about the place humans occupy in the complex mythical hierarchies. However, the role and place of women remain the topic of the hot literary debate. In Greco-Roman mythology, the image of woman is always
Throughout this speech, several rhetorical devices are used, which make the speech more effective. Many people would agree that the most effective quote from this speech is “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” (Clinton par.26). This quote is a sententia, which was properly used because this statement is so powerful. Clinton uses a rhetorical question in her speech to increase the attention of her audience and emphasize how important this conference is in creating change for the future. Clinton states, “Wasn’t it after all -- after the women’s conference in Nairobi ten years ago that the world focused for the first

In her report, Veronica Loveday writes about Women’s Rights Movement, during World War two, and many restrictions women faced. Women’s rights movement in the U.S. begun in the 1960s as a reaction to the decades of unfair social and civil inequities faced by women. Over the next thirty years, feminists campaigned for equality, such as equal pay, equal work , and abortion rights. Women finally gained the right to vote with the passage of the 19th amendment to the constitution in 1920.
Women’s rights in America in late 1800’s women’s right to vote women in medicine and the equal rights for women are the 3 main points that were big in the 1800’s.
Pathos is important in this speech when you are trying to change others views on women’s rights.

All around the world women are crying out, claiming "that it is no longer acceptable to discuss women's rights as separate form human rights," (Hillary Clinton -- Tumulty, 1997). The abuses females endure are found everywhere in places like Senegal, Bangladesh, and Berjing, China. Abortion, denial of political rights, and suppression of speech (Tumulty) are forces upon women daily. But feminism has taken a strong hold of the women around the world, giving them hope for equal rights in the future. "Our community could see we were a society of strong willed women," prides Faustima Nunez, a resident of Chica, "and we are no
