  • Saudi Leadership
    Saudi leadership has recognized that empowering women in STEM has proven to be highly beneficial for any nation, and designed programs and initiatives to drive opportunities in these fields.” About the MWL The Muslim World League is a non-governmental international organization based in Makkah. Its goal is to clarify the true message of Islam. Crown Prince Faisal, the third son of King Abdulaziz Al Saud, founded the Muslim World League during the meeting of the general Islamic Conference on May 18, 1962, in order to fulfill his dream for an Islamic Ummah. The establishment of the MWL continued the vision of the Crown Prince to enlighten and educate the international Muslim community, which began with the founding of the Islamic University of Madi- nah in 1961. The Muslim World League has grown into a worldwide charity to which the Saudi Royal Family remain active donors. Ascending to the throne as King Faisal in November 1964, the Saudi leader remained steadfast in his faith, proclaiming: “I beg of you, brothers, to look upon me as both brother and servant. ‘Majesty’ is reserved to God alone and ‘the throne’ is the throne of the Heavens and Earth.” Contents Volume 49 | Issue 6 1.

    By Farhat Popal and Chris Walsh September 16, 2019 Farhat Popal serves as the Senior Program Manager of the Women’s Initiative at the George W. Bush Institute Chris Walsh serves as the Senior Program Manager of the Human Freedom and Women’s Initiative at the George W. Bush Institute ABOUT THE GEORGE W. BUSH INSTITUTE: Housed within the George W. Bush Presidential Center, the George W. Bush Institute is an action- oriented, nonpartisan, policy organization with the mission of developing leaders, advancing policy, and taking action to solve today’s most pressing challenges. Through three Impact Centers –Domestic Excellence, Global Leadership, and an Engagement Agenda –the Bush Institute delivers measurable results that save and improve lives. To learn more, visit www.BushCenter.org. INTRODUCTION The United States became engaged in Afghanistan in 2001 and has continued that engagement for the past 18 years, in part because our national security depends upon Afghanistan’s stability. Some Americans are frustrated over Washington’s involvement in a prolonged and costly conflict, and that sentiment is understandable. However, it would be a grave mistake to withdraw remaining coalition forces without a clear roadmap for peace that protects nearly two decades of hard-won rights and liberties for the Afghan people. To be clear, we are not advocating for a perpetual U.S. military presence in Afghanistan. We believe the Afghan people should and will control their futures, but at this crucial time during the country’s nascent journey toward freedom, United States support is still needed. Women have the most to lose if the clock turns back.
