The defense spending bill passed by the House of Representatives Wednesday includes $1 million for the Pentagon to hire "gender advisors."
An amendment sponsored by Democrats passed by voice vote to give women "a seat at the table" during diplomatic negotiations. (https://freebeacon.com/columns/the-sum-of-all-tears/)
"When women's voices are heard, they can be catalysts for change—especially when it comes to peace," said (https://facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1085826318242391&id=138220153003017) Rep. Lois Frankel (D., Fla.), after her amendment was included in the defense spending bill.
The amendment authorizes $1 million in taxpayer-funding for the Department of Defense to hire "gender advisors" and for training on "gender perspectives at the war colleges."
"I'm thrilled my amendment securing funding for women in security efforts passed today, which will: (1) provide $3 million for our military branches to implement the Women, Peace and Security Act, helping countries to integrate women into security efforts and (2) Provide the Department of Defense $1 million to hire gender advisors who will assist in military missions and training to make sure more women are involved in foreign operations," Frankel said. "Women can create long-lasting peace—let's give them a seat at the table!"
The text (https://repcloakroom.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=396766) of the amendment specifically calls for $900,000 for training on the "meaningful participation of women" and $100,000 for training on "gender perspectives."
