10 for 10 award from Women's Democracy Network

In November 2016, Laura Bush was honored with the prestigious 10 for 10 award from the Women's Democracy Network. This accolade was bestowed upon her in recognition of her unwavering commitment and extensive work advocating for the rights of Afghan women. Over the years, Laura Bush has been a prominent voice in promoting gender equality and empowering women in Afghanistan, particularly in the wake of the Taliban's oppressive regime. Her efforts have not only raised awareness about the challenges faced by Afghan women but have also inspired global initiatives aimed at improving their rights and opportunities. The Women's Democracy Network, which focuses on advancing women's political participation and leadership, acknowledged Bush's significant contributions to this cause through the 10 for 10 award. This recognition highlights the importance of continued advocacy for women's rights worldwide and the impact that dedicated individuals can have in fostering change.
