By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Policy. Advancing gender equity and equality is a matter of human rights, justice, and fairness. It is also a strategic imperative that reduces poverty and promotes economic growth, increases access to education, improves health outcomes, advances political stability, and fosters democracy. The full participation of all people including women and girls across all aspects of our society is essential to the economic well-being, health, and security of our Nation and of the world.
President Biden marked International Women's Day on Monday by signing orders creating a Gender Policy Council and reviewing Trump-era changes to Title IX.
