Hillary Clinton on Women's Rights

The tone of Hillary Clinton's speech on Women's Rights is deliberative and epidecitic. The speech being deliberative derives from Hillay's call to attention for women's rights in order for them to achieve their potential, because women's rights equal human rights. It is also epeideictic in the sense that Hillary is also praising the world's women for all they have done inside the home and out for themselves, their families, and communities. She also, however, calls to their potentials that they cannot attain without certain rights, which would bring them respect. There is a definite call to action, which would acheive human rights for women.
Her use of logos is subtle. She recalls many years of women's opression, with referecnces to particular countries and specific opressions. She also however appeals to pathos because she gives specific examples that create a sense of unity between her, the women in the audience, and the women all over the world. She uses pathos further by describing the plight of women. For example: not being able to afford day care or child care, working at night and taking care of the kinds during the day, domestic violence, and not having a voice in politics. She stresses that many of these issues are still very much a factor in many countries for many women still to this day. She heavily applies pathos when she begins to compare woemn's rights to human rights and gives gruesome examples of the tortues that women receive in many countries. I am going to provide a large portion of the text which exemplifies this, because as a women, it horrified me to hear that things like this are still happening around the world. I wanted to share it with all of my calssmates.
"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.
It is a violation of human rights when woman and girls are sold into the slavery of prostitution.
It is a violation of human rights when women are doused with gasoline, set on fire and burned to death because their marriage dowries are deemed too small.
It is a violation of human rights when individual women are raped in their own communities and when thousands of women are subjected to rape as a tactic or prize of war.
It is a violation of human rights when a leading cause of death worldwide along women ages 14 to 44 is the violence they are subjected to in their own homes.
It is a violation of human rights when women are denied the right to plan their own families, and that includes being forced to have abortions or being sterilized against their will" (Hilary Clinton).

She applies her time in politics as an aspect of her ethos, yet the fact that she is a women adds credibility to herself and her speech. She does an effective job in relaying the urgency of the matter of women's rights, as it affects children and families as well. There is no reason to wait any longer to take action and create a safe and dignifying world for women to live freely in, and a world in which they can pursue their dreams without fearing for their lives.
