U.S. Department of State’s “DipNote”: Why Moms Matter to U.S. Foreign Policy
U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women’s Issues Catherine Russell highlights stories of mothers worldwide who “counter violent extremism,” “promote health and well-being,” and “inspire champions for equality,” writing, “So on Mother’s Day — and every day — we can do more than thank women for the many ways they make life better for their children, their communities, and their countries. We can reaffirm our commitment to include them and empower them in all aspects of society” (5/8).
