Melinda French Gates Donates $1 Billion to Women's Rights
Gates' Donation Focuses on Reproductive Rights in Post-Dobbs Era
Melinda French Gates, formerly Melinda Gates, announced a $1 billion donation to women's and family rights organizations over the next two years.
The donation comes in response to the US Supreme Court's 2022 Dobbs decision, which overturned Roe v. Wade and allowed individual states to decide abortion rights. Gates said she felt compelled to take action after the ruling.
Gates' donation will focus on reproductive rights, but will also support other areas of women's and family rights, such as childcare, healthcare, and education.
The donation is part of Gates' broader commitment to gender equality. She has been a vocal advocate for women's rights for many years, and has invested in programs to empower women and girls around the world.
Gates' donation is a significant boost to women's rights organizations at a time when they are facing challenges. The Dobbs decision has led to a wave of anti-abortion measures in states across the country, and many women's rights groups are facing funding cuts.
Gates' donation will help these organizations continue their important work, and it is a reminder that the fight for women's rights is not over.
