Women's Month 2023

During Women's History Month, we celebrate the countless women who have fought tirelessly and courageously for equality, justice, and opportunity in our ...

And my Administration released the first Blueprint for Addressing the Maternal Health Crisis to save lives and address systemic discrimination that many women face every day in our health care system, including women of color, women in rural communities, and women with disabilities. I also invite all Americans to visit WomensHistoryMonth.gov to learn more about the vital contribution of women to our Nation’s history. We also reaffirm our commitment to advancing rights and opportunities for women and girls in the United States and around the world. I have taken executive action to safeguard access to reproductive care, including medication abortion, help ensure women can receive emergency medical care, protect patients’ privacy and access to accurate information about their reproductive rights, and combat discrimination in the health care system. It is why I released the first-ever national gender strategy to promote the rights and opportunities of women at home and abroad, which outlines my Administration’s commitment to equal access to education, economic security for women and families, health care, and freedom from gender-based violence. But despite significant progress, women and girls continue to face systemic barriers to full and equal participation in our economy and society.

The prompt for this round of the FEDforum is new year, new. This week, hear from the African American Federal Executive Association (AAFEA).

The FEDforum is a space for federal employee groups to share their organizations’ initiatives and activities with the FEDmanager audience. This year, we are honoring and recognizing the powerful voices of women who have used their platforms to share their experiences, perspectives, and stories. Ladies, gather around and celebrate the achievements of trailblazing women throughout history!
