What You Missed: WH Office Hours on Empowering Women & Girls Through the Equal Futures Partnership

October 5, 2012 at 5:46 PM ET by Valerie Jarrett

Summary:

Samantha Power and Valerie Jarrett take to Twitter for a Q&A about Equal Futures, a new partnership to advance the rights and opportunities of women and girls.

Today, I joined Samantha Power in participating in our first White House Office Hours on Twitter, where we took questions about Equal Futures, a new partnership to advance the rights and opportunities of women and girls. Last week, the U.S., along with12 other founding member countries, launched this partnership at the UN General Assembly. During our live Twitter Q&A, we discussed how the U.S. and other countries can advance the political and economic empowerment of women and girls around the world.

Check out the full Q&A below and learn more about Equal Futures here and here. To view more conversations like this one, check out some of our recent White House Twitter “Office Hours” at Storify.com/WhiteHouse.

We enjoyed engaging with everyone who participated in this chat. To continue the dialogue, follow me on Twitter @VJ44.
