Research notes

The Quote’s “President Biden’s 2022 Gender Policy” does not match the title of a single published instrument; the candidates are the National Strategy on Gender Equity and Equality and the executive orders that produced it. The item is leveled on the family the Mandate is plainly pointing at - Executive Order 14020, the Gender Policy Council and its strategy - all of which are revoked, and none of which survives at the agency that absorbed USAID.
Overlaps #101 (Chapter 2, revoke Executive Order 14020 and all Gender Policy Council policies), which is done on the same two orders.
