“We’ll be that strong voice, your steadfast ally, not just when it’s popular but always unconditionally,” said Trudeau while inaugurating the largest conference on gender equality, Women Deliver Conference 2019, in Vancouver on Monday. The last Women Deliver Conference was held in 2016 in Copenhagen, Denmark. “We know we can’t take our foot off the pedal, not even for a moment,” Trudeau said, adding that his government will always be a partner of the gender equality campaign. “The Women Deliver 2019 Conference is much more than a conference, it is one important step on the march towards gender equality,” said Katja Iversen, Women Deliver President/CEO at the opening press conference. Women Deliver is a leading global advocate that champions gender equality and the health and rights of girls and women.
