The Women and Public Policy Program of Harvard Kennedy School asks what we can do to create gender equality and improve the lives of women and men throughout the world. 

Our work focuses on research, teaching and global impact through four initiatives to advance our understanding of: (1) how women and men think, decide and negotiate; (2) what policies contribute to closing the gender gaps in the economic sphere, politics, education, and health; (3) the strategies that enable women to participate and succeed in politics; and (4) conflict resolution and peace building. These four initiatives through which we will impact global leadership and public policy are described here.
