- Description of Pictures: Laura Bush on Afghan Women's Leadership for Peace: A Conversation with the former First Lady:
Mrs. Laura Bush, former First Lady of the United States, has long been an advocate for expanding the rights and opportunities of women in Afghanistan. Please join us at the U.S. Institute of Peace on March 15 for a discussion about the importance of the United States' continued support of Afghan women and girls. In an event celebrating International Women's Month, Mrs. Bush will be joined by Mina Sherzoy, an Afghan woman featured in the George W. Bush Institute's new book, "We Are Afghan Women: Voices of Hope." Stephen Hadley, USIP's Board Chairman and a former National Security Advisor, will moderate the conversation.
Over the last 13 years, women in Afghanistan have experienced hard-won gains. In 2001, for example, 5,000 girls were in school. Today, more than 2.5 million girls are being educated. Women are emerging from their homes to start businesses, run for office and participate in civil society. The Bush Institute's book, with an introduction by Mrs. Bush, is scheduled for release on March 8 and tells the unique stories of 28 women's contributions to Afghanistan as they seek to promote peace and rebuild their country.
The discussion at USIP is being co-sponsored by the Bush Institute and the U.S.-Afghan Women's Council.
* Mrs. Laura Bush, Former First Lady of the United States
* Mr. Stephen Hadley, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the U.S. Institute of Peace
* Ms. Mina Sherzoy, Council Member of the U.S.-Afghan Women's Council
* Ms. Nancy Lindborg, Welcoming Remarks, President of the U.S. Institute of Peace

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
