22 U.S.C. § 2225: Integration of women

Summary

The President is asked to tell each U.S. representative to international organizations, such as the World Bank, Asian Development Bank, Inter‑American Development Bank, IMF, United Nations, and OECD, to work so women are brought into national economies and into professional and policy‑making jobs in those organizations to improve women’s status. When the United States gives money to these organizations, the President should consider how much they have moved to adopt and use policies that promote women’s integration, in line with the World Plan of Action of the Decade for Women.

The President is requested to instruct each representative of the United States to each international organization of which the United States is a member (including but not limited to the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the Asian Development Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the United Nations, and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) to carry out their duties with respect to such organizations in such a manner as to encourage and promote the integration of women into the national economies of member and recipient countries and into professional and policy-making positions within such organizations, thereby improving the status of women. The President is further requested, in making United States contributions to such organizations, to take into account the progress, or lack of progress, of such organizations in adopting and implementing policies and practices which encourage and promote the integration of women into the national economies of member and recipient countries, and into professional and policy-making positions within such organizations, in accordance with the World Plan of Action of the Decade for Women.
