Sudan"Countries that invest in women's employment, health, and education are likely to have better outcomes," said U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at the recent Women in the World Summit.  
That's why the U.S. State Department has made women a cornerstone of American foreign policy.  U.S. diplomats and development experts have been tasked with finding ways to help women start businesses, help girls attend school, and push for women activists to be involved in peace talks and elections.  
It also means taking on issues such as discrimination against women and rape as a tactic of war.  "We cannot rest until such abuses have been ended," said Secretary Clinton.
In December, the U.S. launched a U.S. National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security, which is a roadmap of how to advance women's participation around the world.  Methods include giving grants to train women activists and journalists in Kenya in early-warning systems for violence.  The U.S. is also supporting a new trauma center for rape victims in Sudan.
