mortality; improve health, nutrition, and education; stem the spread of
HIV/AIDS; build robust and self-sustaining community organizations; and
encourage grassroots democracy.
    Most like human rights a generation ago, women’s rights were long con- (3)______
sidered too controversial for mainstream foreign policy. For decades, inter
national development agencies skirted gender issues in high patriarchal socie- (4)______
ties. Now, therefore, they increasingly see women’s empowerment as critical (5)______
to their mandate. The Asian Development Bank is promoting gender-sensitive
judicial and police reforms in Pakistan, for example, and the World Bank
supports training for female political candidates in Morocco. The United
States, too, is increasingly embracing women’s rights, as the way not only to (6)______
foster democracy, but also promote development, curb extremism, and fight (7)______
terrorism, all core strategic objectives.
    Women’s status have advanced in many countries: gender gaps in infant (8)______
mortality rates, calorie consumption, school enrollment, literacy levels,
access of health care, and political participation have narrowed steadily. And (9)______

increasing social entrepreneurship, and attracting foreign direct investment.
