Women's Advancement

Our dedication to respecting and protecting women’s rights in all countries must continue if we are to achieve a peaceful, prosperous, and stable world.
–Mrs. Laura Bush

Societies, families, communities, and countries thrive when women and girls hold equal and active roles.

The Bush Institute works to support the women around the world who are building stronger communities and driving us toward a more peaceful world by developing policies and research that advance women’s leadership and spotlight their stories.

From local advocates to global first ladies, we work to advance the impact of women leaders.
