Trudeau has called for the empowerment of women and girls in Liberia. Canada has committed over 11 million dollars towards supporting women's initiatives in West Africa. The funds will also go towards promoting the engagement of women in Liberian politics, and encouraging women's participation in peace and security programmes.
