Alliance for Gender Justice in Migration

On #InternationalWorkersDay, @AllianceGJM members (including Prof. Geraldine Pratt) met with the Minister of Labour @HarryBainsSN. They discussed recommendations that workers with precarious immigration status in BC be included and protected under the Employment Standards Act.

Karen Hamilton of @mfl_ohc & Luisa Isidro-Herrera say that all workers in Canada must be covered by employment standards. Often racialized women and gender-diverse migrants are excluded and this needs to end. #canpoli @CQualtro @MarciIen

Msg from @MarciIen for our conference: “Your commitment to actively applying a human rights approach and an intersectional feminist lens, shows us where the gaps are in our society, while providing solutions to build a more equitable CA” #canpoli

These issues are of utmost importance to our community, and we are excited to engage in meaningful conversations about how we can drive policy change in these areas.
