Yesterday, I met with survivors and advocates who are bringing to light the unconscionable crime of conflict-related sexual violence around the world — whether that is ISIS in Iraq a decade ago, Hamas on October 7, or conflicts across the continent of Africa. It is all of our responsibility to work to rid our world of this heinous crime and hold perpetrators accountable.

Women’s history is American history. Today, @SecDebHaaland, @JKlein46, and @BrendaMallory46 joined national leaders to announce new actions to increase the representation of women’s history in sites across America.

Today I signed an Executive Order to increase representation of women’s history in our national parks and historic sites. Women’s history is American history. It’s time we better recognized women’s critical role in shaping our nation’s story in more places across our country.

At yesterday's Women’s History Month reception, I was proud to sign an Executive Order directing a comprehensive set of actions to ensure that women’s health is integrated and prioritized across our government – from budget plans to the research we fund.

Closing the gender digital divide is critical to advancing women’s economic security. Last week at #CSW68, @WiDEFglobal announced its first call for applications under the Women in the Digital Economy Fund.

1.5 billion women in low- and middle-income countries lack access to the internet, which means they’re locked out of the modern economy. I’m thrilled the @gatesfoundation and @USAID are accelerating efforts to address this digital gender divide. m-gat.es/3wX4Bw4

A court in Alabama has put access to some fertility treatments at risk for families desperately trying to get pregnant. The disregard for women’s ability to make these decisions is outrageous. @VP and I won't stop fighting until we restore the protections of Roe v. Wade.
