Ivanka Trump has come under fire on social media after airing her support of women's rights in Afghanistan.
The first daughter, 36, shared a video of herself on Twitter and Instagram on Thursday after addressing a conference about women's empowerment in Afghanistan, which was held on Wednesday in Astana, Kazakhstan.
'Supporting women is fundamental to the future direction of Afghanistan,' Ivanka wrote on social media. 'Together, we have the opportunity to help Afghan women as they strive to realize their dreams of a peaceful and prosperous future in their country and beyond!'

Backlash: Ivanka Trump has come under fire on social media after airing her support of women's rights in Afghanistan
Clip: The first daughter tweeted a video of herself after addressing a conference about women's empowerment in Afghanistan, which was held on Wednesday in Astana, Kazakhstan
In the video, Ivanka faces the camera and gives a short address regarding women's rights and their significance, smiling in direction of the lens.
'We know that countries do better when women are able to participate fully in our societies. Afghan women leaders long fought for basic health, economic and political rights, against the obstacles of poverty, injustice, and violence,' she says.
'Supporting women's empowerment is therefore fundamental to the future direction of Afghanistan. The status and disposition of women will determine whether or not Afghanistan will be a civilized member of the community of nations or dissolve back into a repressive and brutal society like that which we saw during the Taliban rule.
'Our cooperation with Afghanistan aims to raise the voices of Afghan women as they seek a full role in the life of their nation.
'Afghan women possess the skills and boundless potential to establish a foundation for peace.'
While Ivanka has billed herself as a champion of women's rights, many thought her promotion of women's empowerment in Afghanistan was 'tone-deaf' in light of some of the moves made by Donald Trump's administration, of which Ivanka, as a senior White House adviser, is a member.

Comment: 'Girl. You should just go into hiding now and save yourself the embarrassment,' one person wrote. 'You're the last person anyone wants to hear from right now'
'How did they even find the tone deaf person who writes your tweets for you?' one person asked in reply to Ivanka's tweet.
Someone else wrote: 'Girl. You should just go into hiding now and save yourself the embarrassment. You're the last person anyone wants to hear from right now.'
One person brought up the ongoing confirmation hearings for Brett Kavanaugh, Trump's Supreme Court pick.
'How about supporting American women's rights over their own bodies by objecting to the appointment of Bert Kavanaugh? [sic]' that Twitter user wrote.
During his decade as a judge, Kavanaugh, now 53, has not ruled directly on abortion but has signaled sympathy for legal arguments made by anti-abortion advocates.

Context: Another person referred to the Trump administration's policy of splitting families at the border between the US and Mexico
Last October, he was on a panel of judges that issued an order preventing a 17-year-old illegal immigrant detained in Texas by U.S. authorities from immediately obtaining an abortion. That decision was overturned by the full appeals court and she had the abortion.
In a 2017 speech, Kavanaugh praised several opinions written by former Chief Justice William Rehnquist, including his dissent in Roe v. Wade.
Another person referred to the Trump administration's policy of splitting families at the border between the US and Mexico, which resulted in more than 2,600 children being separated from their parents or caretakers earlier this year.
'Why don't you put your energy and voice in putting the families back together that daddy tore apart?' someone wrote on Twitter, adding: 'You are such a hypocrite and your days are numbered... start packing and looking for another job, hopefully in another country.'
As of last week, 497 children remained separated from their families and 2,157 had been reunited with them or released, according to the Washington Post.

Someone brought up the at least 16 women who have accused President Trump of sexual harassment.
'How about you empower your dad's accusers? #metoo right?' that person wrote.
One person referenced an SNL skit dating back to March 2017, in which Scarlett Johansson accused Ivanka of being 'complicit' of her father's actions.
That Twitter user shared a screenshot of Scarlett in the sketch, which was a spoof of a fragrance commercial, along with the words: 'Bye Ivanka.'
Several people mocked Ivanka by tweeting the word 'staffer' at her.
This was in reference to a report made by Bob Woodward in his new book on Trump's White House, titled Fear: Trump in the White House.
Brand: Another person brought up Ivanka's clothing company, which she closed in July
According to Woodward, Ivanka once got into a screaming match with then-adviser Steve Bannon, 64, after he told her: 'You're a goddamn staffer!'
Ivanka, per Woodward's book, responded: 'I'm not a staffer! ... I'll never be a staffer. I'm the first daughter and I'm never going to be a staffer.'
Another person brought up Ivanka's clothing company, which she closed in July this year.
Her company had been criticized for making its products in Chinese factories, for the conditions in those factories, and for being granted trademarks by foreign governments such as China that would want to curry favor with the president.
'Good afternoon Ivanka, senior adviser of whatever & I'm not staff I'm 1st daughter,' the Twitter user wrote.
'You had women making clothes and shoes for peanuts in China, You seem to support separating kids form [sic] their parents. by your silence on the issue. Have you learned the definition of complicit?'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
