What the document says

“It should remove all references, examples, definitions, photos, and language on USAID websites”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 259

The chapter lists the terms to be removed as gender, gender equality, gender equity, gender diverse individuals, gender aware and gender sensitive, across websites, publications, policies, contracts and grants. It also asks that the Office of Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment be renamed and that a presidential memorandum on gender in the program cycle be rescinded.

What the document actually says

“It should remove all references, examples, definitions, photos, and language on USAID websites”

That sentence, in plain words

Take these words off the websites. Take out the pictures too.

What this is about

The agency uses the word gender in its work. The book says that word should go. It wants it taken out of the website and papers.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
