Safe, stable housing is key to women's education and equity. It provides the security needed to focus on personal and professional growth. By ensuring safe, affordable housing, Aunt Leah's removes barriers to education, empowering women to reach their full potential. 🧵 ⬇️
Female-led, lone-parent families are disproportionately affected by these challenges. Poverty rates also remain alarmingly high among children on First Nation reserves and recent immigrants, underscoring systemic inequalities that persist in our society.
The latest 2023 BC Child Poverty Report card by First Call Child and Youth Advocacy Society unveils a troubling reality: one in seven children in BC is living in poverty. Read the full report: firstcallbc.org/wp-content/upl…
This #InternationalWomensDay we are reminded that that gender inequity intersects with disability in profound ways. In filmGender Matters, we explored how women and girls with disabilities are disproportionately affected by discrimination in employment. youtube.com/watch?v=6LcQFG…
@FirstCallBC Executive Director Adrienne Montani joined People First Radio to break down their 2023 BC Child Poverty Report Card, which found poverty rates up for the first time in years.

It is so rare to be able to say that something we have advocated for (with mountains of evidence) actually happened.
🎉 Big news in child & youth welfare! Legislation for a new Office for Children and Youth has been passed, laying the groundwork for an advocacy office. 🚀 It's a massive victory for advocates who've fought for this for years. #ChildYouthAdvocacy #NewBeginnings #Nspoli
