Ivanka Trump Rolls Out New Women’s Initiative

Ivanka Trump has announced a new initiative to empower women throughout the world. She laid out her visions in Fox News:

On Thursday President Trump will sign a memorandum establishing the Women’s Global Development and Prosperity Initiative, or W-GDP. This new initiative will for the first time coordinate America’s commitment to one of the most undervalued resources in the developing world — the talent, ambition and genius of women. This initiative aims to help 50 million women in developing countries realize their economic potential by 2025.

President Trump’s 2017 National Security Strategy of the United States recognized women’s critical role in achieving global peace and prosperity. Research suggests that the more women are excluded from full participation in a country’s economy, the likelier it is that the country will be involved in conflict and respond to a threat with immediate violence. When women are free to thrive, they bring national stability, as well as more jobs and economic growth. Expanding women’s economic participation has the potential to boost global economic output by an additional $12 trillion by 2025.

This number represents far more than an economic boom — it represents millions of lives full of promise: mothers who could provide for their children, daughters who could be the first to graduate from high school, and young women who could start businesses and create jobs. This is the future we can and must achieve together.

W-GDP establishes an innovative new fund at the U.S. Agency for International Development to support proposals that enable women to succeed in the economy. The president has directed USAID to allocate an initial $50 million for this new fund. This fund will implement the administration’s new strategy of foreign assistance, which emphasizes investments that produce measurable results and help recipient countries become self-reliant. It will also facilitate complementary private-sector investments to achieve our shared goals.

The amount spent is relatively small compared to other government programs, and could yield high dividends in America’s international relations.

Ivanka (and Jared) is a BURDEN on the Trump administration. Even though she is “family”, her ideology is the OPPOSITE of what Trump needs to focus on. Trump has enough people within his circle who wish him and his goals ILL! No need for more! Send her packing!

It is not a matter of focus but a matter of broadness. When you have the bully pulpit, you can say and do whatever you see fit. I applaud Ivanka’s taking the lead in this very important sector of the world’s universal enterprise. This is by far one of the best ways to combat the misogynistic paternalism rife in many countries — established, emerging, and backward.
Hop on, it is going to be one great ride.

She should first concentrate on these muslim women that are in our government. Figure out what’s behind their ideology and either convert them or get rid of them.

Sue, Ivanka doesn’t have the power to do that but the Dems should do it. However, they are welcoming them with open arms.

It shows that Trump does care about all people, not just white men, which is what the msm wants everyone to believe. This also shows that President Trump does not have only men in his inner circle , like the media said in the beginning of his Presidency. Now he has to clean out the USAID because they are giving Soros’ phony non profit organizations money, mainly through one of the Clinton’s operatives at USAID, enabling them to go to other countries and disrupt the democratic elected countries that they despise. They use the money to brain wash young adults and convince them to protest (just like here) and to translate the Alynski book, “Rules for Radicals”. Judicial Watch has uncovered documents that prove this is going on. That money may be used for this effort instead.
