ROYCE of California. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I
may consume. Mr. Speaker, from Liberia to Northern Ireland, to, frankly, all over
the planet, we have watched women play pivotal roles in pushing their
governments, in pushing combatants and politicians to bring an end to
conflict. In recent years, we have seen armed conflicts flare around the world,
producing the largest number of refugees on record. Efforts to
negotiate an end to these conflicts are more important than ever. We
know that when women are included in these discussions, we are more
likely to see an enduring peace.
