USGLC Statement on U.S. Strategy on Women, Peace, and Security

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The USGLC President and CEO, Liz Schrayer, released the following statement on the U.S. Strategy on Women, Peace, and Security:

Empowering women is not a partisan issue – it is just smart policy. I applaud Members of Congress and the Administration for working together to promote women’s direct engagement in conflict resolution and peacebuilding efforts around the world. Women have long acted as a stabilizing force for good – preventing conflict, countering terrorism, and promoting peace in their communities. When women are at the table, these efforts are far more likely to succeed.

Since 1995, the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition (USGLC.org) has been bringing together bipartisan political, military, business, farmer, faith, nonprofit, and community leaders from across the country to advocate on the strategic imperative of American leadership for advancing our own security, prosperity, and values. We believe that smart investments in international assistance and diplomacy, alongside defense, can make the world safer and America stronger.
