Countries that provide a safe and enabling environment for women to participate equitably in politics and public life produce more inclusive and effective policy outcomes, are more peaceful, have higher economic growth, and are more stable democracies. To counter the impact of violence against women in politics and public life, both on and offline, along with our U.S. Government and global partners, USAID launched the Women LEAD initiative. Discover how this transformative initiative advances women's civic and political leadership: https://lnkd.in/gjgcRzQT #WomenLEAD #WomenEmpowerment #GenderEquity

USAID supports the enactment of robust protections, inclusion, and human rights for all LGBTQI+ individuals through “inclusive development,” an equitable development approach built on the understanding that every individual and community, of all diverse identities and experiences, is instrumental in the transformation of their own societies. That’s why we launched the historic LGBTQI+ Inclusive Development Policy last year, a blueprint for integrating LGBTQI+ individuals into USAID policy and programming. Through the Policy, USAID recommits to its staff, local partners, the international community, other development agencies, and program participants around the world that LGBTQI+ individuals are a vital force in the work we do and that, by embracing an inclusive development approach, we will help our work serve all segments of society.
