From Iran to Afghanistan and beyond, women are standing up and resisting intense crackdowns on their rights and freedoms. Women’s equality is now the focus of a summit hosted by former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton and Chelsea Clinton, her daughter and vice chair of the Clinton Foundation. Friday’s event will bring together “advocates, artists, political and policy leaders from around the world to address defending and advancing women’s rights.” The agenda includes voting rights, healthcare, peace, the workplace, and more. It’s a fight Secretary Clinton has led for decades, and she joins the show from Arkansas for an exclusive conversation.
