Transcript for Women on the world stage

And women's rights a focus for many watching the visit overseas. Ivanka Trump, stepping in for her father at a conference. More on all of this from Cecilia Vega. Reporter: Two days in Saudi Arabia, and president trump never once publicly mentioned human rights. And women's rights? Just a passing mention in his speech on extremism. It means standing together against the murder of innocent muslims, the oppression of women, the persecution of Jews, and the slaughter of Christians. Reporter: Aides say he did address human rights behind the scenes. But publicly, his message was clear. We are not here to lecture. We are not here to tell other people how to live, what to do, who to be, or how to worship.
