World Bank: Charlevoix Region and G Partners

world bank: International Development Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau told a news conference Saturday that she has visited refugees across the globe, including Iraq and Bangladesh, according to CTV. She said women and girls have suffered unspeakable violence and still live in a vulnerable environment. That's includes a 400-million investment from Canada as part of the overall three-year commitment, and also includes contributions from G7 partners and the World Bank. These mothers all share the same dream -- they see their kids in school, for them to have hope in their future. The summit in Quebec's Charlevoix region wrapped up Saturday afternoon. The money raised exceeds the US 1.3 billion over three years that a coalition of 30 non-governmental organizations had called on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to raise as part of his chairmanship of the G7 this year.
