Chelsea Clinton Discusses Women's Rights at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health

In this session, Clinton spoke about topics including her experiences determining what health issues the Clinton Foundation will work on; her own personal experiences while growing up in learning to form her own opinions at a young age; and the need for empowering female leaders.

Her work emphasizes improving global and domestic health, creating service opportunities, and empowering the next generation of leaders. She focuses especially on the Foundation’s health programs, including the Clinton Health Access Initiative, which strengthens health care and access to lifesaving services in the developing world; Alliance for a Healthier Generation, which fights childhood obesity in the United States; and Clinton Health Matters Initiative, which addresses preventable disease in the United States.
