Ivanka Trump Must Prove She Is Authentic

In all the drama in the presidential campaign, there is one positive outcome that could make a real difference for women – on both sides of the campaign.

The Democrats have always been in favor of providing families more support for paid leave for parents or those with ailing family members and child care. However, some argue that the Federal government can’t afford this type of program and should stay away from regulating employer-employee relationships.

Not only has Hillary Clinton pushed for more family support, but so has Donald Trump. This has been spurred on by Ivanka, Trump’s daughter. However, this means that both sides will have to prove they are willing to put actions behind their plans, including Ivanka Trump.

Ivanka will not only have to increase her visibility but also prove that she can meet the public's expectations. However, reports have showed that Ivanka’s company can barely meet the current standards for maternity benefits and leave.

She has a far way to go, as she must also move beyond the controversy created by her father and brother on workplace sexual harassment. Many people wonder if Ivanka can cross all these hurdles and be an authentic voice for women.

The feminine name Ivanka is a diminutive of Ivana, which is the female version of Ivan. The masculine name Ivan is the new version of the old Slavic name Ioannes, which was taken from the Greek Ioannes. The name Ioannes is the English version of John which is derived from the Hebrew name Yochanan meaning “Yahweh is gracious”.
