| Morning NewsCNN 20: U.N.'s 4th Women's World Conference, September 4, 1995Aired September 4, 2000 - 9:22 a.m. ETTHIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED. ANNOUNCER: Bringing you the world for 20 years, this is CNN. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) JUDY WOODRUFF, CNN ANCHOR/CORRESPONDENT: There was an extraordinary gathering of women from all over the world in Beijing. The fact that this was in China, the forbidden country, if you will, where women's rights, human rights, are still an issue made it a much bigger story. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) WOODRUFF: For the next two weeks, I'll be here to bring you the story from what we are told is the largest gathering of women ever. (END VIDEO CLIP) WOODRUFF: CNN had the good sense to program a half an hour every day for the entire two weeks that it was under way. The conference itself ended up accomplishing some forward movement in the language respecting the rights of women. The first lady of the United States gave one of the major address at this conference, and I think it's most remembered for her line... (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON, FIRST LADY: ... that human rights are women's rights and women's rights are human rights once and for all. (END VIDEO CLIP) Which might sound obvious to many of us, but it hadn't been said that way. And so she got a good deal of attention. There were protests. The Chinese were unhappy. There was a whole lot of security. But in the end, I think people probably paid a whole lot more attention to that conference because it was in Beijing, China.
