Young Women's and Girls Empowerment

Foreign Policy Classroom: A Conversation Between the U.S. Special Envoy for Youth, Senior Official in the Office of Global Women’s Issues, and Young Women and Girls Around the World

The U.S. government has made a number of new and exciting commitments to youth and gender in foreign policy, including through the appointment of a new Special Envoy for Youth Issues at the State Department. This event will provide the opportunity and platform for girls from lower- and middle-income countries most affected by U.S. foreign policy, as well as girls in the U.S., to speak directly with U.S. government leaders who are committed to their empowerment, leadership, and to addressing their most pressing concerns.
