The focus of the Women's Research Institute is unique when compared to the emphases explored by other research organizations who are primarily identifying problems stemming from gender inequities or diversity of lifestyles. The research within the Women's Research Institute is focused on finding solutions to those problems. The principal objective of the Institute's research is to help women overcome barriers and progress in all aspects of their personal development and involvement in families, religions, and societies.

The various studies within the Institute seek to identify circumstances and relationships that will strengthen women's opportunities for peace, progression, and prosperity. By facilitating women's progression, not only will their own well-being be improved, but also that of their husbands, children, and neighbors. In fact, economic, educational, physical, and political well-being of families all improve when women's opportunities are increased.
