Ivanka Trump learns about rights from Saudi women!
22-5-2017
On the sidelines of a parade involving US President Donald Trump during his weekend visit to Saudi Arabia, his daughter, Ivanka met with a group of Saudi women leaders. Trump praised the progress reached in recent years in the Kingdom in the area of women’s rights, describing this as “very encouraging”. But, she added, “there is still a lot to be done and freedoms to be fought for,” and urged Saudi women to continue with their struggle to attain more freedoms. In a tweet after the above roundtable meeting, Ivanka said she has “learned directly from the successes, achievements and the future visions of Saudi women.” “Stories of Saudi women aspiring for change inspire me,” she tweeted. “Women around the world continue to struggle to achieve unprecedented levels of rights and freedoms, and today, you are standing in the front lines of the battle for equality,” she concluded in her address to Saudi women.
