Women and Girls

President Obama signed an executive order creating the president's council on women and girls.

From the New York Times:

President Obama has just signed an executive order establishing the “White House Council on Women and Girls.” The purpose of the new group “is to ensure that American women and girls are treated fairly in all matters of public policy,” he said at the signing. “Our progress in these areas is an important measure of whether we are truly fulfilling the promise of our democracy for all our people.” He defined those areas as economic security, a balance between work and family, violence against women and women’s health.

Not really sure there is a need for a separate council for women and girls if existing council(s) on humans were to do what they are set up to do ... that though is another question in and of itself.
