Each day political decisions are made that affect women's personal and professional lives.

The Barat Education Foundation has established the Barat Center for Women's Leadership and Social Change to highlight and deal with issues of gender and women's rights, to provide ongoing educational opportunities, and to create a forum for the open discussion of women's issues.

The Barat Education Foundation is currently identifying potential partnerships and alliances to strengthen the the development of the Center at this stage.

Creating Women Leaders

We are working to become a nationally recognized organization that provides resources and educational opportunities for women of all ages with the courage and aspiration to be leaders.

We provide programs, scholarships, mentoring, and financial support to women who are assuming leadership roles in their profession or community, locally or globally, and those women who have the potential to be leaders.
