In 1963, the Swedish parliament proposed
the use of foreign aid funds to improve women’s access to training and education. Sweden later proposed to the U.N. a long-range program for the advancement of women. In 1973, U.S. women’s organizations pressured the U.S. State Department to address women’s issues. Congressional legislation authorizing funding for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) included an amendment requiring U.S. foreign aid programs to give particular attention to integrating women into the national economies of foreign countries.
