Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau explained the very deliberate steps he took in order to have a gender-balanced cabinet once he got to office.

When Trudeau became prime minister, he famously made his cabinet gender-equal, with 50 percent men and 50 percent female.

Since governments around the world (*cough* USA *cough*) are typically male-dominated, this was seen as a significant move.
