The first daughter's comments came amid a growing number of sexual harassment and assault allegations against high-profile figures in media, business and entertainment in the U.S., which have sparked a national debate over gender inequality and sexual harassment in the workplace.

Trump's speech in Tokyo also comes ahead of her father's planned trip to Japan and four other countries in East Asia starting Friday.

Trump is expected to speak with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe later about the president's upcoming visit, according to AFP.

"When women live up to their potential, many world issues can be solved," Abe said, according to AFP.
