“President Donald Trump’s 2020 budget proposal will include $100 million for a global women’s fund spearheaded by his daughter Ivanka Trump,” Catherine Lucey reports for The Associated Press. “The White House said the budget, expected to be released Monday, will include the funding for the Women’s Global Development and Prosperity Initiative.

First Lady Melania Trump “made her third official visit as first lady to the State Department on Thursday, passing out the International Women of Courage Awards,” Kate Bennett reports for CNN. “Courage is what divides those who only talk about change from those who actually act to change.

In the Miami Herald, Hudson Institute Senior Fellow Nadia Schadlow writes that the Trump Administration’s W-GDP initiative will empower women across the globe. “As we observe International Women’s Day, Americans should make a bipartisan commitment to supporting W-GDP, which represents an enormous opportunity to spur growth and create stability by empowering women to use their untapped entrepreneurial talent and invest in their families, communities, and their countries.”
