Ivanka Trump s women s empowerment program slammed in government report
The rollout of programs funded through a 2018 women s empowerment bill failed at one agency.
Ivanka didn t directly oversee the program but did promote her role in expanding aid to female workers.
A policy program championed by Ivanka Trump, and aimed at assisting female-led small businesses around the globe, suffered from such poor agency oversight that the Government Accountability Office was unable to conclude how successful the program was or even if it had worked at all.
Former President Donald Trump s eldest daughter and adviser, Ivanka Trump, helped promote the policy program and ushered the bill through Congress.

An estimated 1 in 5 women was found to be experiencing sexual violence in times of humanitarian emergencies.
