G7 summit announces $3 billion to improve education for women around the world
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Saturday during his closing address at the G7 summit that Canada, the European Union, Germany, Japan, and the U.K., will be investing nearly $3 billion to improve education access and opportunities for women around the world.
“Gender equality is a fundamental human right and a top priority for Canada and its G7 Presidency,” Trudeau said in the official announcement. “To make gender equality a reality, all women and girls around the world must have equal access to quality education and learning opportunities.”
The move will be the “single largest investment in education for women and girls in crisis and conflict situations,” according to Trudeau.
