Remarks by President Bush and Mrs. Bush for Women's History Month and Celebration of International Women's Day

Women receive
antiretroviral drugs and deliver babies free of HIV because of the President's
Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief. In Afghanistan, young girls go to school and
women serve in government because America helped liberate the Afghan people .
I want to thank my friend, Pat Brister, who is the U. Anthony and Alice Stone Blackwell and Elizabeth Cady
Stanton and Rosa Parks changed the course of our nation's history. We weren't always an equal society in America, and
it required strong leadership to help make America a more equal place. And
we're a better place because of the leadership of women throughout our
history. A democracy is strong when women
participate in the society.
Women lead governments in Germany , in Chile, and the Philippines. Through the Iraqi Women's Democracy Initiative,
we're providing funds for Iraqi women to receive training in political
leadership and learn about the legislative process, the judicial system, and
how to defend and promote human rights.)

The East Room

10:44 A. My
administration is better off to have really capable women who feel comfortable
marching in the Oval Office and giving the President their frank advice. I appreciate the
members of the Diplomatic Corps who have joined us.)
The struggle for women's right is a story of strong women willing to take
the lead. The distinguished leadership of women
like Secretary of State Condi Rice -- where is she? She had an excused
absence -- (laughter) -- and Justice Sandra Day O'Connor has helped open
doors for women for future generations.
Across the world, the increasing participation of women in civic and
political life has strengthened democracies. We refuse to accept the status quo in the United States of
America, particularly when we find women repressed.
We live in extraordinary times .K.
"Frank's strategic leadership at Chrysler Group and continuous dedication
to creative problem solving within numerous communities has contributed
greatly to the Company's success as an automotive leader in building societies

In the last four years, we have also seen women make great strides in
Afghanistan and Iraq -- countries where just a few years ago women were denied
basic rights and were brutalized by tyrants .
As we work to advance the equality of women in the world's newest
democracies, we must remember that many women in other countries around the
world are still struggling for basic rights in places like Iran and North
Korea and Burma.
