Its true women make up 50% of the workforce in Canada. Along with this new statistic comes issues that have yet to be resolved for working women.

Pay Equity, child care, elder care, family responsibility, harassment and violence, health care, access to education and/or apprenticeships, full time, living wage jobs that provide benefits now and into retirement, and pensions.

Are there still Women’s Issues – YES In order for our society to prosper and grow Women and their families must become stronger and must achieve equal footing. We can do it, when we work together. Speak up, Speak out and be heard!
