“Societies that empower women to participate fully in civic and economic life are more prosperous and peaceful.”
U.S. National Security Strategy 2017
Long-term peace and security in Afghanistan will depend on the reintegration of combatants and rebuilding of Afghan society, including those who have war-related physical or psychological disabilities. Good health is an essential precursor to, and buttress for, stabilization efforts in Afghanistan.
Please join us as we co-sponsor this important series of events on how U.S. investment in women promotes international peace and security.
