[Ivanka Trump](http://motto.time.com/4182722/ivanka-trump-negotiation-skills/?iid=sr-link1), the daughter of presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, insisted her father was a “feminist” in a [new interview](http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/dads-a-feminist-says-ivanka-3bz9krjp0) published Sunday.

The 34-year-old mother of three said her father respects women, disputing talks throughout Trump’s campaign from critics who say the real estate mogul insults women and [treats them poorly](http://time.com/4276762/the-ladies-and-the-trump/), the _Sunday Times_ of London reports.

“My father is a feminist. He’s a big reason I am the woman I am today,” Ivanka Trump told the newspaper. “People talk about gender equality. He has lived it, he has employed women at the highest levels of the Trump Organization for decades, so I think it’s a great testament to how capable he thinks women are and has shown that his whole life.”

“He always told me and showed me that I could do anything I set my mind to if I married vision and passion with work ethic,” she added. “He’s also surrounded me with strong female role models who have done just that since I was a little girl.”
