President Donald Trump’s team did something shocking during a UN women’s event this week – they said that they reject extreme gender ideology, believe in equality, and don’t support making a mockery out of biological women. This used to be something the Democrats cared about, but apparently not any more.
At a glance:
- The UN Commission on the Status of Women held its annual meeting in New York, marking 30 years since the 1995 Beijing conference.
- Trump administration officials firmly opposed radical gender ideology and abortion advocacy during the sessions.
- UN Secretary General António Guterres claimed women’s rights are “under siege” and blamed “patriarchy.”
- U.S. representatives declared they would not support policies replacing women with men in women’s spaces.
- The administration reaffirmed its commitment to the pro-life Geneva Consensus Declaration against international pressure.
Trump Administration Defends Traditional Women’s Rights
The Trump administration took a stand against radical gender ideology at the recently concluded UN Commission on the Status of Women meeting in New York. The annual gathering, which marked the 30th anniversary of the Fourth World Congress on Women held in Beijing in 1995, became a battleground over the definition of women’s rights.
While many nations pushed abortion access under the euphemistic term “Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights” (SRHR), U.S. representatives firmly stood against this agenda. The American delegation made it clear they would not support radical ideologies that threatened women’s spaces and opportunities.
UN Secretary General António Guterres set a confrontational tone at the meeting by declaring that “women’s rights are under siege.” He further inflamed tensions by claiming that “the poison of patriarchy is back – and it is back with a vengeance,” rhetoric that clearly targeted conservative and traditional values.
America Stands Against Radical Gender Ideology
One U.S. representative declared during the event that “the United States government will no longer promote radical ideologies that replace women with men in spaces and opportunities designed for women.”
The American delegation reaffirmed its support for the Geneva Consensus Declaration, a multinational document that promotes women’s health without including abortion as a human right. This pro-life, pro-family stance represents a significant departure from previous administrations that had embraced more progressive gender policies.
Several progressive nations organized events focused on advancing abortion rights and countering what they called a “backlash” against gender equality. These efforts clearly aimed to pressure traditional values supporters to abandon their principles and embrace the left’s agenda.
Historical Context and Future Implications
The contentious meeting comes three decades after the 1995 Beijing conference that famously featured Hillary Clinton’s declaration that “human rights are women’s rights, and women’s rights are human rights.” That historic gathering produced a Declaration and Platform for Action for women’s equality that notably excluded abortion from the final document.
A status report on the Beijing goals noted progress in education and maternal mortality but admitted limited advancement toward the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. The report highlighted ongoing challenges to achieving true equality while respecting the biological differences between men and women.
Trump is bringing sanity back to the world. Just by standing up and telling the truth.
