Trudeau is headed to la Francophonie summit in Madagascar with a quick stopover in Monrovia, Liberia, tomorrow where he will meet with Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf to talk about women's rights and gender equality. Johnson Sirleaf, Africa's first elected female head of state, shared the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize for her work to recognize women's rights and building peace. Progress on justice, but more to do"We've seen child survival rates improve and we're doing some great work in women's health. The importance of working on the whole spectrum of women's health and working in reproductive health is extremely important," Guindon said, placing emphasis on the words "whole spectrum," which means contraception and, in some cases, safe abortions. Trudeau will deliver a speech focused on the empowerment of women and girls, as well as gay and transgender rights.
