Biden will demand $2.6 billion for gender equality
President Joe Biden said he would ask Congress (US Parliament) to fund a $2.6 billion foreign aid program promoting gender equality around the world. This amount is double the amount demanded last year. Biden announced this on World Women’s Day, which recognizes the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women around the world.
