Paging through intelligence reports just weeks after she was sworn in as vice president, Kamala Harris observed gender bias in the language used to describe female foreign leaders, prompting a review of multiple intelligence reports.
The study initiated by Ms. Harris revealed some questionable word choices in the reports, though a senior intelligence official noted there was no widespread pattern of gender bias across multiple years of briefing reports.
Despite the findings of the review being limited, the experience led to the introduction of a new training class for intelligence analysts focused on how to evaluate and assess female foreign leaders.
Kamala Harris's approach highlights her commitment to addressing systemic disparities, as she consistently places questions about gender and race at the forefront of policy discussions in her office.
