Madame Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, a Because I am a Girl ambassador who is also the wife of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, sent this powerful message to world leaders at the Women Deliver conference in Copenhagen, Denmark. She calls for bold, decisive, global action to end gender inequality – something that cannot be achieved until boys, girls, men and women work together.
The speech was shown at the launch event of a global research project that will measure progress for girls and women to ensure governments deliver on their promises for equality by 2030.
"When women and girls have the tools and opportunities to realise their full potential, there is no limit to greatness," said Ms Trudeau.
