Canada's work to make gender equality a centrepiece of its G7 presidency last year has been adopted by French President Emmanuel Macron.

The summit produced a commitment of $3.8 billion for girls' education — a fund the U.S. did not agree to participate in.

The G7 gender equality advisory council is calling on G7 leaders to take concrete actions to ensure women and girls achieve pay equity, have mandated opportunities on corporate boards and better access to reproductive health services.
