I have seen the women in Somalia receive those water bottles where the alternative for them is to walk for two miles to get polluted water and even run the risk of being raped. These are the realities that we have to bring into the halls of the United Nations. So we may ask for a higher degree of ambition in the document. The realities are there, and I think we will have to deal with those realities.
