USAID Gender Policy Emphasizes Women and Girls Rather than Trans
… Trump administration struck at the heart of gender ideology in a new draft policy released last week by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID)
… Obama administration that was highly controversial in that it promoted homosexuality and transgenderism
… “gender equality” as referring strictly to equality between men and women and boys and girls
… erasing any mention of transgender issues or people who identify as LGBTQ
… emphasis on the importance of partnering with faith-based groups, which was omitted in the 2012 policy
… also leaves out any references to abortion, including euphemistic language such as “reproductive health,” which the Trump administration has opposed in UN negotiations as well as internal policy documents
