"International Women's Day reminds us of the role women play as makers of history. Regrettably, we have not yet reached our goal of participating in society on equal footing with men. Inequality and discrimination make women highly vulnerable to violence. Human trafficking and violence primarily affect women and girls. To fight gender inequality is also to fight violence and human trafficking."Eva Biaudet, OSCE Special Representative for Combating Trafficking in Human Beings and Jamila Seftaoui, OSCE Senior Gender Adviser
