To prevent and response to gender-based violence, we will: It exacts tremendous costs on the safety, health and economic security of survivors and their families. Gender-based violence is endemic in homes, schools, workplaces, the military, communities, and online-and far too often a hallmark of conflict and humanitarian crises. Preventing and responding to gender-based violence. Dismantle the barriers to equal opportunity in education that undermine the ability to compete on a level playing field, recognizing that education affects future economy security.Invest in care infrastructure and care workers to help rebuild the economy and lower costs for working families.
#CONSTITUTIONAL EQUALITY FULL#
Ensure that people have equal access to good jobs, including by addressing persistent gender discrimination and systemic barriers to full workforce participation.As we recover from the pandemic, we have the opportunity to build an economy that works for women and their families. This includes addressing discrimination and bias faced by Black, Latino, and Indigenous and Native American people, Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders, and other people of color. The strategy also adopts an intersectional approach that considers the barriers and challenges faced by those who experience intersecting and compounding forms of discrimination and bias related to gender, race, and other factors, including sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, disability, age, and socioeconomic status. These priorities are inherently linked and must be tackled in concert. The strategy identifies ten interconnected priorities: 1) economic security 2) gender-based violence 3) health 4) education 5) justice and immigration 6) human rights and equality under the law 7) security and humanitarian relief 8) climate change 9) science and technology and 10) democracy, participation, and leadership. That’s why the Biden-Harris Administration established the White House Gender Policy Council, charged with leading the development of the first-ever National Strategy on Gender Equity and Equality, which sets forth an aspirational vision and a comprehensive agenda to advance gender equity and equality in domestic and foreign policy-and demonstrates that families, communities, and nations around the world stand to benefit. And it requires that we bring the talent and potential of all people to bear to face the challenges of our time. It requires that we acknowledge and address longstanding gender discrimination and the systemic barriers to full participation that have held back women and girls. This moment demands that we build back better. These overlapping crises have underscored that, for far too long, the status quo has left too many behind. It has also exacerbated a “shadow pandemic” of gender-based violence in the United States and around the world. The COVID-19 pandemic has fueled a health crisis, an economic crisis, and a caregiving crisis that have magnified the challenges that women and girls, especially women and girls of color, have long faced. Yet no country in the world has achieved gender equality-and we are at an inflection point. Ensuring that all people, regardless of gender, have the opportunity to realize their full potential is, therefore, both a moral and strategic imperative. It is also essential to economic growth and development, democracy and political stability, and the security of nations across the globe. President Biden and Vice President Harris believe that advancing gender equity and equality is fundamental to every individual’s economic security, safety, health, and ability to exercise their most basic rights. The Biden-Harris Administration issues 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.
