This is Gender Equality Week in Canada

It’s Gender Equality Week in Canada, and the theme for this year’s campaign is “United for Gender Equality: Stronger Together.”  Natalie Jameson, PEI’s Minister Responsible for the Status of Women, says that from eliminating discrimination and harmful stereotypes to preventing gender-based violence, advancing gender equality contributes to a higher quality of life for everyone. Gender Equality Week is an opportunity to raise awareness of the important contributions women and gender diverse communities have made to the growth, development, character and identity of Canada and PEI.
