San Jose, Costa Rica - US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton called Thursday in Costa Rica for additional support programmes for women in the Americas.
Clinton arrived Thursday on a Latin American tour with previous stops in Uruguay, Argentina, Chile and Brazil, with another scheduled visit to Guatemala.
In San Jose, Clinton took part in the forum Pathways to Prosperity in the Americas, where she called for a determined fight against poverty and social inequality and for broader access to the benefits of international trade.
Talent is universal but opportunity is not, she told the audience.
Pathways to Prosperity was launched by the United States in September 2008 to promote 'inclusive growth, prosperity, and social justice.'
