Ivanka Trump Praises Saudi Arabia on Women’s Rights After Country Donates $100 Million to Her Cause
Ivanka Trump has praised the progress of women’s rights in Saudi Arabia after the country and the United Arab Emirates pledged to donate $100 million to the first World Bank’s global project for women entrepreneurs.
Speaking in Saudi Arabia as her father met with Arab and Islam leaders, Ms Trump said progress in the nation was “encouraging” but said there was “still a lot of work to be done”.
“In every country around the world women and girls continue to face unique systematic, institutional, cultural barriers, which hinder us from fully engaging in and achieving true parity of opportunity within our communities,” she said at a roundtable of women leaders in society, businesswomen and elected government officials.
