THE WHITE HOUSEOffice of the Press Secretary____________________________________________________________________________________For Immediate Release March 11, 2009EXECUTIVE ORDER- - - - - - -ESTABLISHING A WHITE HOUSE COUNCIL ON WOMEN AND GIRLSBy the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I hereby order as follows:Section 1. Policy. Over the past generation, our society has made tremendous progress in eradicating barriers to women's success. A record number of women are attending college and graduate school. Women make up a growing share of our workforce, and more women are corporate executives and business owners than ever before, helping boost the U.S. economy and foster U.S. competitiveness around the world. Today, women are serving at the highest levels of all branches of our Government.Despite this progress, certain inequalities continue to persist. On average, American women continue to earn only about 78 cents for every dollar men make, and women are still significantly underrepresented in the science, engineering, and technology fields. Far too many women lack health insurance, and many are unable to take time off to care for a new baby or an ailing family member. Violence against women and girls remains a global epidemic. The challenge of ensuring equal educational opportunities for women and girls endures. As the current economic crisis has swept across our Nation, women have been seriously affected.These issues do not concern just women. When jobs do not offer family leave, that affects men who wish to help care for their families. When women earn less than men for the same work, that affects families who have to work harder to make ends meet. When our daughters do not have the same educational and career opportunities as our sons, that affects entire communities, our economy, and our future as a Nation.The purpose of this order is to establish a coordinated Federal response to issues that particularly impact the lives of women and girls and to ensure that Federal programs and policies address and take into account the distinctive concerns of women and girls, including women of color and those with disabilities.Sec. 2. White House Council on Women and Girls. There is established within the Executive Office of the President a White House Council on Women and Girls (Council).(a) Membership of the Council. The Council shall consist of the following members:(1) the Senior Advisor and Assistant to the President for Intergovernmental Affairs and Public Liaison, who shall serve as Chair of the Council;(2) the Secretary of State;(3) the Secretary of the Treasury;(4) the Secretary of Defense;(5) the Attorney General;(6) the Secretary of the Interior;(7) the Secretary of Agriculture;(8) the Secretary of Commerce;(9) the Secretary of Labor;(10) the Secretary of Health and Human Services;
