On #IWD2024 , FAFIA celebrates and thanks all the Canadian women who fight for women's equality. #InternationalWomensDay #womensday #March8 #womensrights #rights #Respect
Today, FAFIA honours the women who challenge the sex discrimination in the Indian Act and fight for equal status for First Nations women. #IWD2024 #March8 #rights #Respect #WomensDay #InternationalWomensDay
As we approach #IWD2024, FAFIA honours Jeannette Corbiere Lavell, who challenged sex discrimination in the Indian Act in 1971 using the Canadian Bill of Rights. She lost by one vote in the Supreme Court of Canada, but she started a legal and political battle that is not over yet.
Poverty and income inequality are two of Canada’s most pressing issues. Bill S-233, An Act to develop a national framework for a guaranteed livable basic income, is a direct response to poverty and could be delivered efficiently through the tax system. policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/marc…
Jeannette Corbiere Lavell stood up for Indigenous women’s rights for decades – her legal battle helped rewrite the law, inspire other Indigenous women, and restore full status to women and families who had lost it due to sexism in the Indian Act. bit.ly/3V4Uhwa
Upcoming #IWD2024 celebrates achievements & calls for action. Our global call is to #CallItFemicide 2023 saw 16% increase in killings of women & girls involving male accused from pre-pandemic year 2019. For more information, see infographic 👇
As we approach #IWD2024, remember that 27 women & girls have been killed in the first 2 months of this year so far, mostly by men. This year, it's a call to action we need. #CallItFemicide
“The (Agenda) recommends addressing the lack of appropriate housing and tackling discrimination. These...contribute disproportionately to the violence and marginalization of women, particularly Indigenous women...& 2SLGBTQ+ ppl." Read this WNHHN interview. loom.ly/EjDMrrA
We should all salute the courage of Nicole Rabbit and all the Indigenous women who bravely come forward with their stories of coerced sterilization. This Bill will help safeguard consent and treat these heinous acts with the seriousness they deserve. cbc.ca/news/indigenou…
March 8th is International Women’s Day #IWD. The theme this year is “Invest in women: Accelerate progress.” It emphasizes the crucial role of gender equality and #PayEquity in building an inclusive and sustainable society to ensure that women have fair opportunities to thrive.
