Dreamboat Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau has warmed our hearts once again.

Giving a powerful speech alongside wife Sophie at Hamburg’s Global Citizen Festival, the political duo pushed for the empowerment of women.

“The really big issues we face, like climate change, poverty, and disease affect women and girls more than anyone else,” Sophie Trudeau said.

“Given equal opportunities, women and girls can change the world,” Justin Trudeau continued. “And that is one of the messages I will be bringing with me to the G20 summit this weekend, and I hope you will all share that message too. We must keep pushing ourselves on the road to gender equality.”

The Trudeaus joined the likes of Coldplay, Pharrell Williams, and Ellie Goulding at the 12,000 strong festival which hopes to raise millions from governments for gender equality, education, and international health issues.

Trudeau impressed superstar Rihanna earlier this month after the singer and Global Citizen ambassador tweeted many world leaders, asking them to fund global education.

“We’ve got your back!” the prime minister replied, thanking one of his ministers for ensuring “girls’ education is in our feminist international development policy.”

Justin Trudeau: What a guy.
