PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton announced a new initiative Friday called "No Ceilings" to empower women and children around the globe. The project could serve as the basis of a recurring campaign theme if she decides to run for president again.
Clinton said the initiative, launched through the Clinton Foundation, will look at the progress made by women and chart a path toward full participation in the economy and society. The former secretary of state said at the Pennsylvania Conference for Women that too many women face ceilings "that hold back their ambitions and aspirations."
"I believe that women everywhere can be and are agents of change, drivers of progress, makers of peace," Clinton said. "All we need is a fighting chance to show what we can do in every part of life."
Polls have shown Clinton as the leading Democratic contender for president in 2016 if she decides to run. Clinton has said she plans to begin seriously considering it next year but has largely steered clear of politics since leaving the State Department, focusing on paid speeches, an upcoming book and her family's foundation.
