This week U.S. Department of State and USAID submitted the 2023 Elie Wiesel Act Report to Congress reaffirming a government-wide approach to #AtrocityPrevention.

NEWS: Today, Administrator Samantha Power announced that the United States, through USAID, will provide an additional $100 million in critical humanitarian assistance for Palestinians in dire need throughout Gaza and the West Bank. This funding will support USAID's partner the UN World Food Programme to deliver urgently needed food assistance in Gaza and the West Bank. Nearly the entire population in Gaza is facing emergency levels of food insecurity and is in need of assistance, especially the most vulnerable, including children and pregnant and nursing women. Through this additional assistance, USAID will also provide logistics support for the safe and efficient delivery of lifesaving humanitarian aid across Gaza amid a persistently challenging and insecure operating environment. The U.S. continues to prioritize the protection of civilians and aid workers, who are operating at incredibly high risk to deliver aid to people in need throughout Gaza and the West Bank. This new funding, provided under the recently passed bipartisan National Security Supplemental, brings the total humanitarian aid that the United States has announced for Palestinians since the beginning of the conflict to more than $774 million. https://lnkd.in/gUDkUnby

Countries that provide a safe and enabling environment for women to participate equitably in politics and public life produce more inclusive and effective policy outcomes, are more peaceful, have higher economic growth, and are more stable democracies. To counter the impact of violence against women in politics and public life, both on and offline, along with our U.S. Government and global partners, USAID launched the Women LEAD initiative. Discover how this transformative initiative advances women's civic and political leadership: https://lnkd.in/gjgcRzQT #WomenLEAD #WomenEmpowerment #GenderEquity
