“The Canadian government will intensify its diplomacy and development work to end early and forced marriage in every corner of the world. We take pride in spearheading the establishment of the Day of the Girl and are committed to ending violence against women and girls. Where the human rights of women are fully respected and women play a vital role in government and civil society, we see more prosperous and pluralistic states. On Human Rights Day, let us redouble our efforts to ensure that the active participation of women and girls in all aspects of society becomes a reality in our lifetime.”
