Ivanka Trump Calls to Prioritize Women Empowerment

Osaka: Ivanka Trump, US President Donald Trump’s daughter and senior White House adviser, on Saturday called on G20 leaders to prioritize women’s empowerment, citing the benefits female participation in the workforce will have on the global economy. “We believe that women’s inclusion in the economy is not solely a social justice issue, which of course it is. It’s also smart economic and defence policy,” Ivanka Trump said at an event here on the sidelines of the ongoing G20 Summit. She said that if women participated in labour markets on an equal footing to men, global annual GDP could rise between $12 trillion and $28 trillion by 2025, reports Kyodo News Agency. (IANS)
