Our Mission
The mission of the Office of the Senior Adviser to the Secretary of State for Women's Empowerment (S/WE), is to advise the Secretary of State on strategies the Department of State should implement to help empower women worldwide. S/WE also administers the Women Leaders' Working Group, a network chaired by comprised of key women Ministers and Heads of State, which meets periodically to address the critical challenges to women's empowerment.
S/WE implements its mission by working closely with senior U.S. officials, foreign governments, and civil society to highlight women's empowerment as a bilateral and multilateral priority on the U.S. foreign policy agenda. S/WE also launches cost-effective and high-impact model programs that showcase the impact and importance of creating greater political, economic, education, and legal access for women wide.
