Washington, D.C. – Today, Democratic Women’s Caucus (DWC) Co-Chairs Congresswomen Jackie Speier (CA-14), Lois Frankel (FL-21), and Brenda Lawrence (MI-14), and Vice Chairs Congresswomen Veronica Escobar (TX-16) and Sylvia Garcia (TX-29) issued the following statement on the Biden-Harris Administration issuing the first-ever national gender strategy to advance the full participation of all people - including women and girls - in the United States and around the world.
 
“Today's announcement from the White House demonstrates the Biden-Harris Administration's continued commitment to advancing gender equity at home and abroad,” said the Members. “This is a comprehensive and intersectional strategy that targets key issues women all over the world face, including economic security and gender-based violence, to health and education disparities, and climate change, while considering the heightened impacts of further racial and gender discrimination faced by so many women today. Our caucus remains committed to fighting for equality for all women, and we look forward to working with the Biden-Harris Administration to fully support this strategy.”
