How Ivanka Trump, W-GDP helped 12 million women in one year

The White HouseWashington, D.C. – This month marks one year since President Donald Trump launched the Women’s Global Development and Prosperity Initiative, also known as W-GDP. With major support from Ivanka Trump, W-GDP addresses the lack of economic freedom that women face globally.

W-GDP’s ambitious goal is to help 50 million women in the developing world by 2025. Under Ivanka Trump’s leadership, 12 million women have been served in year one alone.
 
Ms. Trump celebrated that achievement today at the State Department.
