The Biden administration recently released a national strategy to foster gender equality in the U.S. and abroad. Priorities include preventing gender-based violence and promoting economic security, health, education, fairness in justice and immigration systems, and human rights and equity in the law.
“On International Women’s Day, the president issued an executive order establishing the White House Gender Policy Council to ensure that gender equity and equality are at the forefront of America’s domestic and foreign policy,” wrote President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in a letter introducing the plan. “That executive order also mandated the development of this first-ever national strategy to guide our work on gender equity and equality as a government and as a nation.”
