On 17 November 1998 Hillary Clinton famously made the following statement at a domestic violence conference in El Salvador:
"Women have always been the primary victims of war. Women lose their husbands, their fathers, their sons in combat."[1][2][3]
In March 2023 Clinton reiterated her earlier statement, now saying that women and children are the primary victims of conflict. In addition she claims women and children are the primary victims of climate change too.
"Women and children are the primary victims of conflict and of climate change and there is no place that unfortunately, tragically, shows us that more dramatically than Ukraine today," [4][5]
