The Honourable Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of International Development and La Francophonie, recently traveled to Copenhagen, Denmark, to attend the Women Deliver conference, May 16 to 18, 2016.

Women Deliver is the world’s largest global conference on the health, rights and well-being of women and girls. During her visit, the Minister met with ministers of health and development from other donor countries, heads of international and Canadian organizations, and other key partners.

The Minister’s participation at the conference offers a unique opportunity to highlight Canada’s efforts to champion key issues for women and girls, such as sexual and reproductive health and rights, innovative health financing, ending child, early and forced marriage, and nutrition.

Minister Bibeau was accompanied by the Honourable Patty Hajdu, Minister of Status of Women.
