Ambassador Samantha Power, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, has released a video of an interview with Caitlyn Jenner. The video was released for International Human Rights Day, and features the two speaking about how to advance the fight for transgender rights in the U.S. and internationally.
The ambassador and Jenner discussed the disturbing rate of violence against trans people, and the importance of making trans people feel safe around the world. These are crucial concerns, as at least 21 transgender people have been murdered in 2015—more than any year previously.
Jenner also talked about her personal journey since coming out.
“No matter who you are, what your background is, what your age is, you can live authentically, okay?” she said. “The last six months, being able to live authentically, I’m so excited about life. I’ve got things to do, I’ve got a mission in life, a purpose in life, and I would like to share that with people. And I would like to make a difference in the world.”
