In 2017, President Trump dramatically expanded the Global Gag Rule, which cuts all US Government funding for foreign organizations that promote or provide safe abortion services.
US First Lady Melania Trump recently took her first solo tour through Malawi, Ghana, Kenya and Egypt to promote her ‘Be Best’ campaign, which advocates for women’s and children’s health. However, the goals of her campaign are at odds with the policy that her husband enacted. Women are facing even greater challenges to their reproductive health because organizations are forced to deny them necessary assistance.
"As a woman herself, Melania would already understand these issues. She should be able to freely say what women want. No man should be able make policy that decides for us."
