Women's History Month, 2026

Proclamation 11017 of March 12, 2026

Women's History Month, 2026

By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation

This Women's History Month, we celebrate the
extraordinary American women of our past and the titans
of our present who have strengthened our families,
enriched our culture, defended our values, pioneered
our industries, and shaped our Nation's glorious
future.

For 250 years, strong women have brought our Nation to
countless new heights and moments of triumph. To this
day, across every industry, women are champions of
success, trailblazers in their fields, and models in
their homes. Whether they serve our Nation as service
members, government leaders, entrepreneurs, or mothers,
every devoted woman guides our Nation's strength,
prosperity, and way of life.

For this reason, my Administration will always promote
policies that embolden women, uplift our children, and
fortify the American family. Since I returned to office
last year, we have permanently expanded the child tax
credit, invested in the next generation through our
historic creation of Trump Accounts, and dramatically
reduced prices on common medicines like insulin and
fertility treatments through TrumpRx. We are keeping
men out of women's sports, enforcing Title IX as it was
originally written, and ensuring colleges preserve--
and, where possible, expand--scholarships and roster
opportunities for female athletes. At the same time, we
are restoring public safety and upholding the rule of
law in every city so women, children, and families can
feel safe and secure.

We are also restoring strength to the American economy,
ensuring that women who work hard, build businesses,
and grow our industries can achieve greater success
than ever before. A small business owner can now expand
her company thanks to our historic 20 percent tax
deduction. A farmer will benefit from new trade markets
that allow her to sell more American-grown products
around the world. And with the great One Big Beautiful
Bill, we eliminated tax on tips and overtime pay--
putting more money in the pockets of hardworking women
across America.

This month, we recognize and honor the incredible women
who have built our Nation, formed our conscience, and
elevated our spirit. May their legacies continue to
inspire future generations of citizens to strive for
excellence, lead proudly, and carry forth the enduring
values that make America the greatest country in the
history of the world.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the
United States of America, by virtue of the authority
vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the
United States, do hereby proclaim March 2026 as Women's
History Month. I call upon public officials, educators,
librarians, and all the people of the United States to
observe this day with appropriate programs, ceremonies,
and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
twelfth day of March, in the year of our Lord two
thousand twenty-six, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the two hundred and fiftieth.
