Tehran 2 February _Fifty US congresswomen have penned a scathing letter to Donald Trump, lambasting the Republican president for his "continuing derogation of women" in both rhetoric and policy.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club(YJC)_It is most shameful that the words young girls and boys hear directed at women from the upper echelons of power are dripping with disdain and disrespect," read the letter released this week.
Among those who signed the letter were co-chairs of the Democratic Women's Caucus, Representatives Lois Frankel, Brenda L. Lawrence and Jackie Speier.
"Beyond your public policy choices—stripping away women's access to health care, undermining protections for survivors of sexual assault, reversing equal pay efforts and more—your words demonstrate a contempt for women who dare to do their jobs or speak truth to power which reflects poorly on you," the leader said.
Rep. Jackie Speier, Democrat of California, posted the letter on her official Twitter account.
.@HouseDemWomen just sent a letter to @POTUS condemning his denigration of women. It's as if he relishes the opportunity to publicly humiliate any woman who fights back, speaks up or takes up space. Mr. President, you should not be the biggest bully on the playground! pic.twitter.com/HJVmOt2dci
