Today is the day! MPs are voting on @LeahGazan #BillC223, a crucial step toward reducing gender inequalities in Canada. NAWL proudly supports this bill, as it offers a real solution to tackling poverty.

September 22 to 28 is #GenderEqualityWeek. Gender-based discrimination and violence persists across Canada. Indigenous women, women with disabilities, 2SLGBTQQIA+ people, and other groups face unique and compounded barriers to equality. (1/2)
