When women succeed, nations succeed
Participants of Vital Voices conference during reception at Roosevelt House, September 16, 2010
This past week we hosted a reception for “Vital Voices” at Roosevelt House, with close to 400 women from all over Asia, to highlight empowerment, human rights, and economic opportunity for women.
I met with women from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Taiwan, and Nepal. People spoke eloquently about their personal stories in their home countries and how important it is to share best practices. 
When women succeed, their children succeed, their communities do better, and the world does better. As we continue to practice a US policy that takes a regional and strategic approach to challenges in Asia, this evening’s inspiration will last a long time. Tell me what issues you believe are the most important for India’s long term development.
