Joly Hosts Global Meeting of Female Foreign Ministers on Harassment and Gender Equity

The two-day Toronto summit aims to address barriers to women's participation in politics and governance.

Mélanie Joly, Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister, is convening female foreign ministers from a dozen countries.
The meeting, co-hosted with Jamaica's Kamina Johnson Smith, focuses on women's participation in governance and online harassment.
This Toronto gathering follows a similar 2018 meeting in Montreal and various informal discussions at global summits.
Key topics include promoting gender equity in public life and tackling misinformation and online violence targeting women in politics.
Joly is expected to provide a summary of the discussions and outcomes to reporters as the meeting concludes.
