Ivanka Trump champions working moms — except the ones who design her clothes
But the company that designs her clothing line, including the $157 sheath she wore during her convention speech, does not offer workers a single day of paid maternity leave.
.. Trump, however, has dedicated her advocacy to what has since become her signature hashtag: #WomenWhoWork.
.. Her message starkly contrasts with past words of her father, who has blamed his wives’ careers for troubles in his previous marriages. In 1994, Donald Trump told ABC News, “I think that putting a wife to work is a very dangerous thing.”
.. Ivanka Trump, who is executive vice president of development and acquisitions at her father’s company, told the New York Times that she took off eight days following the 2011 birth of her first child, Arabella.
.. Last month, British newspaper The Independent revealed most of the Ivanka Trump brand’s clothing was manufactured in Vietnam and China. Donald Trump, whose apparel also is largely made overseas, has made decrying outsourced jobs central to his campaign.
