The Self-Determination Movement has also dedicated the month of March as Women’s Month, and speakers at Montclair University shared with the audience common goals for fuller and equal representation of women in all spheres of life. Hillary Clinton in her speech said, “There is still much work to be done to achieve higher representation of women in public institutions, including the White House.”

Clinton reiterated the issue of abortion as an exclusive right of women and not of politicians or different policies. Senator Menendez recognized pioneering and innovative women in New Jersey. Bob Menendez, who is also Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has openly expressed support for Kosovo, considering it as a matter of particular interest to American foreign policy. Senator Menendez has a strong connection with the Kosovo community in the USA, and with the invitation made, he considers the Self-Determination Movement in the USA to be very special and important.
