Biden to request $2.6B to promote gender equity worldwide | TheHill
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
President Biden will request $2.6 billion for foreign assistance programs that promote general equality worldwide, he announced on International Women’s Day on Tuesday.
The funds will be part of his fiscal 2023 budget request to Congress and will double the amount requested for gender programs last year.
"On this day and every day, let us recognize that all of us have a better future when women and girls can reach their full potential — and together, let's renew our efforts to advance dignity, equality, and limitless possibilities for all," Biden said in a statement.
The president said International Women's Day is a time to recognize the achievements of women and girls, celebrate progress, and recommit to work that needs to be done.
"Ensuring that every woman and girl has that chance isn't just the right thing to do — it's also a strategic imperative that advances the prosperity, stability, and security of our nation and the world. Yet too often, in too many places, women and girls face obstacles that limit their possibilities and undermine their participation in economic, political, and social life," Biden said.
He noted that barriers women face were exposed and exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which impacted women's labor force participation, showed the burden on caregivers, and increased gender-based violence.
Tuesday also marks the one-year anniversary of Biden creating the White House Gender Policy Council through executive order, which is responsible for leading a government-wide effort to advance gender equity and equality in the U.S. and globally.
They really hate this country!
They? Are you sure it is not you and projection theatrics?

What a crock of lying bullshit. Transgender males should not compete against biological females. Lia Thomas is not a "she"
Not no, but HELL NO! There are other more important things at home that money should be spent on.
These are the same idiots that allow boys/men that identify as girls/women to compete in girl's/women's sports.
Which makes this statement over the top hypocrisy.
Do these idiots ever look in the mirror and practice giving these speeches to know exactly how stupid and condescending they sound?
Great minds think alike, you beat me by 42 seconds. You must type faster than my four finger approach.
They don't and that is what makes them great.
Then that leaves all the lock step thinkers on the left out of the great minds club.
See 2.1.1
great minds my big fat ass.
See 2.1.4
Maybe a diet would help
Just couldn't leave me on your blocked list, could you.
If you look at the numbers with a disinterested mind, you will find a parity on both sides.
Some, but very little. It is easier to just agree with the party line or what your favorite cable station says on the subject than it is to actually think for oneself. There is alot of intellectual laziness out there.
"Just couldn't leave me on your blocked list, could you."
That's on you
Just got to have the last word with your endless taunts
Indeed there is and one example of that is taking a minor itch (gender switchers) and purposefully scratching it into a major infection.
It might not be a big deal for everyone but it might be a big deal for the girls and parents of girls that are effected by it. I wonder why all the sympathy for one group and ignoring the biological females while saying how important equity is for the biological females..
But I understand your point. It is like all the people that have walked by statues without giving it a thought for years all of a sudden feel the need to take the statue down because a few wokesters deciding people should be insulted by it.
I would venture that more people are affected by trans competing as females than the number of trans. They want to promote transgenderism while completely ignoring the effects on others.
They may have miscalculated the number of votes they will get for embracing this vs the number of votes they will lose by pissing off women in general, women affected by this and their parents.
The woke crowd is unable to see any of that.
They march on, secure in their own dreams of a perfect world, where unicorns poop rainbows
I saw a unicorn poop a rainbow in the 70's!! I can't remember if I took a blue pill or a pink pill before I saw it though.

Looks like you are true to form.
I doubt it, nothing in this article is about transgenders but down that Boulevard of Slippery Squirrels y'all went.
But the minute it affects them they'll start crying and attempt to pass blame to anybody but themselves.
Sorry, didn't realize there were rules about pointing out hypocrisy. I look forward to you calling out people on the left when they do it.
You didn't know? You can't point out the hypocrisy of the left. It makes them cry.
The pace of the verbal diarrhea from the right is picking up.
Hilarious, based on 5+ years of "I Hate Trump" spewed by some fine folks!
Yet is still pales in comparison to the shit talking coming from the left.
Thanks for making my point. Now, don't you have another fictional Trump piece to seed?
And where were you when 8+ years of 'I Hate Obama' was spewed by 'fine' folks? Derangement Syndrome is cyclical and does not recognize. partisan borders.
Living in America.
Why do you ask?
I like to watch sQuad skating.
No a diet wouldn't help. Something that big would require extensive surgery to make smaller and even that may not help.
Good for you!
Well that explains why the leftoes are not great in any way.
The first rule is pointing out your own.
Really? Can I have a copy of your rule book?
It's more of a fluid thing--changes on a whim or to magically support some lame point they think they have made.
I guess so, I always thought rule 1 of their book was "It doesn't matter what it is, it is OK when we do it and not OK when they do it".
I don't know about others but I was giving Obama the benefit of the doubt for about the first year of his first term. After that I came to the conclusion he did not deserve it.
Probably would not help. Most likely all blank pages in it...

Kind of a funny thing to say from a party that promotes the obstacle of letting biological males compete with women and little girls' in sports.
Just more lip service and the left are dumb enough to believe it.
I can think of better uses for over $2 billion right here in our own country.
Can't we all?
Do we really need it though? I heard Joe released 2 days worth of oil. I am sure the gas price will drop by over 1.50 a gallon any day now.
Oh, I don't know.
We could feed some hungry folks, give shelter to homeless vets, spend it on infrastructure--all things which would actually benefit Americans NOW.
Good point. Of course the liberals would much rather pay for health insurance for illegals or free gender studies with that money.
One of our major problems here is that Democrats often act as if they received some huge "mandate" from voters, completely ignoring how close the elections were, and trying to legislate as though they actually HAVE a mandate.
The sheer ignorance of that tactic is astounding.
They know not what they created. They got the reigns of power and they put all of their radical ideas into action.
The result = Massive inflation, as of today the highest gasoline prices in American history, rampant crime, wide open borders and here is the best part - for the first time in my life - all the political energy is now on the right!
That's been American history for 245 years.
Nope.
Ya!
Sorry, AOC and Ilhan Omar are not patriots nor elder statesmen. Shall I say what they are?
MTG and Lauren Boebert dopplegangers ... I could easily toss in a dozen more.
Nancy Pelosi set the standard
You don't like it now?
Ah, but did Nancy shove it down a toilet and flush 15 times? Anywho, I would have ripped it up also for being a waste of bad writing.
I don't give a shit what you think they are. Deflect away.
15 Times? Did that send it to Canada?
Nah, Ted Cruz dove in and claimed it.
Actually, most likely they do know. They just do not care.
I'm investing in urinal manufacturers. Every women's room in America is going to have them now.
Cool ... will they come with a Flushing-4-Dummies manual writ by the Merde-et-Lardo?
They will probably want to install sanitary napkins and tampon dispensers in the men's room for the females that think they are makes but are waiting to get pregnant to use.
Did all the right wing bigots here misread the title of this article? There’s no “trans” in the title or what is posted from the article, but they just can’t stop their bigotry when the word “gender” pops up. It’s like they have a case of Transtourettes.
Who do you think falls into that category, and why?
If every time you see the word “gender” you feel the need to shit out some anti-transgender statement, then you fit the bill. For instance, in this article you acted on the urge to shit out this nugget:
I would venture that more people are affected by trans competing as females than the number of trans. They want to promote transgenderism while completely ignoring the effects on others.
This article has nothing to do with that topic. [deleted]
This may come as a surprise to you, but the lines you quoted from me are a response to what someone else wrote. That is kind of how things work around here.
If you wish to call me a bigot, pull up your big-boy pants and do it instead of pussyfooting round it.
[Deleted]
Your opinion is meaningless to me.

I am not a bigot, just a capitalist. I'm considering opening a store for middle age men who are transitioning to unattractive old ladies. Kind of like Talbots meets Lane Bryant.

You seem more like the LOFT Outlet type. With the money you save there you can pick up a couple spanx girdles.
Do you like the way they fit you though?

Responsibility? It was totally worth it.
I figured you for someone who shopped at the Chess King, I think when they filed BK was in the late 90's about the last time i went to a mall or outlet.
Then rather pointless to be whining about it.
Wide Lady butt syndrome? Yep, i like a big girl 5ft 2 240lbs, now you are talking!
Lol - me whining? You started this whole exchange with your whining about a comment I made that wasn’t even directed at you specifically. That is the story of your life here.
You have it now.
that's great!
BTW, your comment is still there, so people can see I asked you specifically about what YOU wrote, and in answer you got all personal.
[Deleted] you don't like anyone pointing out the true hypocrisy of the democrats when they say they care about women yet support policies that brings women's rights back 25 years.
Trying to play the bigot card does not change that fact
Oh good grief ! What century did you crawl out of ? SMH
I pointed out the obvious fact that a bunch [Deleted] pounced on an opportunity to turn an article about gender equality into a discussion about transgender issues. Please explain how that is whining, and try to do so without the whiny little bitch rhetoric in 7.1.17.
And btw, what the hell is up with your screen name? It must have something to do with bowling, since it obviously has nothing to do with politics based on nearly everything you bring to this site. Your politics is right down the Right gutter.
[Deleted]
Quite the common occurrence here.
Good point!
Not only that by their logic bigotry was not in the article therfore it should not have been mentioned at all. Somehow it is ok when they point out supposed bigotry but not ok when others point out hypocrisy.
Fox News fact checks Joe Biden’s statement that America is producing the most oil it ever has at this moment. In Dec. 2019 America was producing 12.9M barrels a day. In Dec. 2021 we were producing 11.5M.
It must be an example of that new-fangled progressive liberal math.
Less is more!
Here's some more math for them:
Senate Republicans raise record $11.7 million in February
Senate Republicans raise record $11.7 million in February
Well that was before Putin got sanctioned. He won’t be able to be so generous this month.
Silly nonsense.
if there was an iota of truth to it, are we to assume that the Biden/Harris Administration is turning a blind eye to illegal contributions?
Must be all that time they are focused on chasing Trump rabbits preventing them from their duties.
I have to wonder if anyone is counting the number of times Joe or Jen lie. It has to be way over 1000 by now. Although it is hard to know with Joe since it is often hard to understand what he is mumbling.
Thread @7.1 locked for slap fighting.
Anoon sandy...slap fighting?? An American expression or is it something you do??
Hi, shona. I don't know if it's an exclusively American expression. Basically, it's just trading insults rather than discussing the topic. It might start with a discussion of the topic, but devolves.
Anoon... thanks for that...
No problem. It's funny how a single language changes from one country to another, isn't it?
Yes the one word you mob use and could get your head punched in here is rooting...
You are rooting for your team etc..say that in a pub and it would be an all in brawl..
Here it is barrack (support).. you barrack for your team etc..
Could lead to an international incident..
What does "rooting" mean that's so bad it could get your head punched in?
If you are rooting for a Rugby team for example it refers to sexual relations..
Want to stop a pub dead in its tracks..that would do it ..🤣🤣
Most Aussies know what it means but if you are in the sticks it is not so commonly known...
Ah. Yeah, that's a pretty big difference from what we mean by "rooting".
