    Mrs. Laura Bush - A Conversation on Empowering Women in Afghanistan: Talks at GS Session Highlights

    Laura Bush, Mrs. Laura Bush, Manizha Naderi, Mrs. Bush, Manisha

    Former First Lady Laura Bush launched her book *We Are Afghan Women*, which chronicles the struggles and resilience of 29 Afghan women alongside activist Manisha, who details the founding of a shelter network now serving over 21,000 survivors. The work highlights how marginalized women like Manisha transformed decades of conflict into progress, establishing educational systems and advocacy groups while noting that the nation's reconstruction may take another forty years. Bush emphasizes that female civic participation is a prerequisite for national stability, drawing parallels to the 1920 U.S. suffrage movement to advocate for patient, long-term investment in Afghan women's rights.
