Canada on Feminism
Government of Canada : Theme for year 2021: #FeministRecovery
“Achieving gender equality and supporting women’s empowerment are ends in themselves and have a high impact on progress across all Sustainable Development Goals. Reaching the poorest and most marginalized who may face increased discrimination based on intersecting identity factors is essential to leaving no one behind and achieving the 2030 Agenda.”
(Canada, 2019)
March 8 is International Women’s Day, a global day of recognition celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women and girls, and raising awareness of the work left to be done. “This year’s theme, #FeministRecovery
“Today, on International Women’s Day, we celebrate the achievements of women in all their diversity, here in Canada and around the world, and we honour those who have challenged norms, lifted up others, and created lasting and substantial change. We also reaffirm our commitment to gender equality, so that all women and girls can contribute to their full potential, and we can build a better, safer, and more inclusive world.”
(Statement by the Prime Minister on International Women’s Day, 2021)
“We remain committed to evidence-based decision-making that takes into consideration the impacts of policies on all Canadians and fully defends the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. You will apply Gender-based Analysis Plus (GBA+) in the decisions that you make and consider public policies through an intersectional lens in order to address systemic inequities including: systemic racism; unconscious bias; gender-based discrimination; barriers for persons with disabilities; discrimination against LGBTQ2 communities; and inequities faced by all vulnerable populations. Whenever possible, you will work to improve the quality and availability of disaggregated data to ensure that policy decisions benefit all communities.”
(Minister for Women and Gender Equality and Rural Economic Development Supplementary Mandate Letter, 2021)
