Ivanka in G-20 spotlight with call for ‘women’s empowerment,’ global equal rights

White House adviser Ivanka Trump will take center stage at the G-20 economic summit this weekend to make a global call for women’s financial empowerment and equal rights.

Officials said she was invited by host Japanese Prime Minister Shinzō Abe to make her case at a “women’s economic empowerment” session on Saturday. She is to be joined by Queen Maxima of the Netherlands.

Her participation will put the global spotlight on the administration’s effort to help women in countries where they face discrimination. She is President Trump’s face of the Women’s Global Development and Prosperity Initiative, praised by conservative and liberals, including the Brookings Institution.
