WOMEN'S ISSUES In Focus:

Women in Focus Project

This project hopes to promote a more enlightened and gender-inclusive U.S. foreign policy. The traditional foreign policy establishment does not take into account how women are affected differently than men by foreign policy decisions. In addition, foreign policy priorities that include women's needs often require complex and long-term strategies to implement properly. This project is designed to provide information about and recommendations for such strategies.

Sponsored by the generosity of the Victory Noll Sisters.
