During the transition period between President Joe Biden and President-elect Donald Trump, there has been some coordination on West Wing affairs, but not when it comes to Biden's Gender Policy Council. The council was established through an executive order by Biden in September 2021, with the aim of driving policies to improve the lives of women and girls in the U.S. and globally.
Over the past four years, the Gender Policy Council has focused on advancing reproductive freedom, promoting pay equity, and increasing women's participation in the workforce. Members of Biden's Cabinet have representatives on the council, which has worked to defend reproductive health care in the face of growing restrictions.
