I do not believe we can solve it on our own, nor should we.

I think a high-profile OAS summit with these ideas would be very helpful.

We do not have the tools without the funding, so we need to deal with this.

We cannot do everything alone. It is too hard.

We need to deal with this. And I do have faith in Senators Mikulski and Shelby.

I wrote to India's newly elected Prime Minister urging him to take immediate action to combat violence and improve the safety and security of women and girls.
