Location: The Heritage Foundation's Allison Auditorium
Throughout
the developing world, even in places ravaged by conflict like Iraq,
Afghanistan, the Middle East, and Africa, women are increasingly
emerging as courageous leaders. They are surmounting deeply
entrenched cultural and legal barriers to secure freedom, advance
democracy, and create pathways to prosperity for themselves and
their countries. Along the way, they have received strong
support not only from the United States, but also from Americans
themselves. In anticipation of International Women's Day on
March 8, The Heritage Foundation has invited Andrea G. Bottner, the
new Director for International Women's Issues at the U.S.
Department of State, to share with the Washington policy community
the successes and struggles of women in places undergoing
democratic transitionand the Bush Administration's priorities for
its final year.
