What is Ivanka doing promoting women's rights in shithole countries ?

Daddy doesn't care for any of that stuff.

She is not an elected official, but Donald decide to make her an advisor, and send her on vague missions, that she thinks she believes in. On this trip, she gave an interview to the NYT (that her dad attacks and calls fake news and enemy of the people), in which she said that Africa would inspire her daddy. Not clear how though.

On this trip, she's visiting Ethiopia and the Ivory Coast. This is part of the United States’ Women’s Global Development and Prosperity initiative. The project aims to help 50 million women get ahead, by 2025, and has a $50M budget, paid for by US taxpayers. In addition, you have her travel costs (flights, entourage, security, PR, etc.). That would be less than $1 per person helped, by 2025, if the program succeeds.

Simultaneously, the Trump administration, supported by Ivanka, put in a place a policy that bans funding for abortion services, and reproduction overseas, effectively taking away women's right to choose, and running headlong into the three pillars of Ivanka's initiative:

- Eliminating cultural and legal barriers, preventing women from progressing

- Entrepreneurial investment

- Vocational Development

So, Ivanka gets to play princess, and parade her glamorous looks, and promotes her company's wares, to third world starving women, while her daddy fucks them over, by denying them choice.

Oh, and there's the shithole countries thing. I don't know about the Ivory Coast, but I'm pretty sure Ethiopia was one of them countries.
