The Women Deliver 2019 Conference – the world’s largest of its kind – will present new knowledge, promote solutions, and serve as a fueling station for accelerating action on the health, rights, and wellbeing of girls and women and achieving a more equal world.

Prime Minister Trudeau and Katja Iversen symbolically announced the Women Deliver 2019 Conference in front of the ’Women are Persons!’ monument on the grounds of Parliament Hill in Ottawa. They were joined by Minister of International Development and the Francophonie, Marie-Claude Bibeau; Minister of Status of Women, Maryam Monsef; Deliver for Good influencer, Madame Sophie Grégoire Trudeau; as well as more than 100 representatives from civil society, businesses, arts institutions, and First Nations.

“Prioritizing the health, rights, and wellbeing of girls and women is not optional, but in fact, foundational to drive change and progress for all, and reflected in our new feminist foreign policy. Canada is proud to host the next Women Deliver Conference as a global convener to bring us all further in advancing human rights for women," says Justin Trudeau, Canadian Prime Minister.

“A Women Deliver Conference is much more than a conference. It is a fueling station – for solutions, for action, and for hope; for advocates across the globe, north, south, east, and west, high and low; world leaders and village activists alike – who every day are working tremendously hard to achieve a more gender equal world,” added Katja Iversen, President/CEO Women Deliver
