Council on Women and Girls Agency Report
The White House established the Council for Women and Girls on March 11, 2009. The mission of the Council is to ensure federal agencies take into account the needs of women and girls in developing policies, programs, and legislation. OPM’s report reflects those areas within the agency where these considerations have taken place as well as our efforts to continue to do so in the future.
