In the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, great civil-rights battles were waged against racial discrimination and apartheid, followed by struggles to advance the rights of the disabled and sexual minorities. It is our generation’s task to tackle the civil-rights movement’s unfinished business, by ending the exploitation of children, especially girls, and ensuring compulsory universal education.
20世纪50年代，反殖民主义斗争主导着世界政治。60年代、70年代和80年代，大规模民权斗争磨刀霍霍向种族歧视和种族隔离，此后则是主张残疾人和性小众（sexual minorities）权利的斗争。我们这一代人有义务继续未竟的民权运动事业，结束虐待儿童特别是女孩的时代，确保普世义务教育。
