Through powerful storytelling, expert interviews, and bold conversations, we’ll highlight community-based solutions, uncover systemic barriers, and explore what true equity can look like, especially for those who are too often

2022/09/07

We found that around half of parents and caregivers in Canada believe their children aged 9 to 19 are struggling right now, two years into a global pandemic.But children and young people are a diverse group. We do a disservice when we don’t dig into what different young people face, depending on their unique identities and experiences. “This is not the first crisis faced by Indigenous youth,” says Resetting Normal: The Impacts of COVID-19 on First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Youth.

The Future of Care

2022/08/10

When we think “economy”, it’s easy to imagine stereotypical things: opening bell, chaotic trading floor, ups and downs of stock graphs.But the economy is made up of peopleand it’s deeply gendered. There is no economy without women—andwe haven’t valued them the way we should. Over half of all female workers are employed in occupations involving the “5 Cs”: caring, clerical, catering, cashiering, and cleaning. Workers in these sectors face a lot of marginalization due to racism and precarious

2022/07/13

Northern Canada experiences some of the highest rates of violence, poverty, and health concerns and lower access to basic services. Legacies of colonialism and residential schools have eroded local connectedness and sense of identity. Indigenous gender justice leaders in the North know the solutions to these challenges and what women, girls, and gender-diverse people need to reclaim connections to land and culture. They’re catalysts for sustainable and healthy futures. Delma Autut leads the Northern

Content note: this episode addresses gender-based violence. “Is #MeToo Over?”, headlines are asking. There’sbeen a resurgence ofvictim-blaming narratives in the media and popular culture. Why is this happening? What can we do about it?

The anticipated overturn of Roe v. Wade, a 1973 US Supreme Court decision that established abortion access as a constitutional right, highlights the importance of reproductive justice everywhere.

Mothers at the Breaking Point

2022/05/18

Overworked, overwhelmed, undervalued. Last May, we launched The Mother Rising, a campaign to draw attention to the voices of diverse mothers and caregivers in Canada. We learned that many of them were at their breaking point in the pandemic. Their mental health was suffering, and the burdens were even greater for those facing poverty, multiple forms of discrimination, and gender-based violence. Our follow-up research in May 2022 finds that circumstances have not improved. Mothers are

Promises and Pitfalls of Canada's Federal Budget

Alright, Now What? ·

2022/04/20

The2022 Federal Budget says that44% of its investments are gender neutral, 42% benefit men more than women, and just 14% benefit women more than men. What this all means can be a bit confusing. Why should we look at the budget with a critical lens, and can it really move the needle on gender justice? Ann Decter, Senior Director of Community Initiatives and Policy at the Canadian Women’s Foundation, provides helpful explanations, starting with the basics: what, why, and how. In her work at the

We're mindful of crises in the Ukraine, in Afghanistan, in Yemen, and other regions of the world. The goal of gender justice in Canada is intertwined with the goals of peace and safety all over the globe. But the distinct needs of women, girls, and gender-diverse people fleeing conflict as refugees and the interplay of discrimination like racism, homophobia, transphobia, and ableism are underrecognized in our responses and in the settlement process.

2022/03/23

It's 2022 and the gender pay gap still hurts us. What does the data say? And what are some real life stories behind the numbers? The gender pay gap refers to the difference in average earnings of people based on gender. It’s a widely recognized indicator of gender inequities, and it exists across industries and professional levels. There are different ways to measure the gap, but no matter how you cut it, the gap still exists. And it’s not just about gender. Gender pay gaps are worse for those who

The Abuse Support Gap

2022/03/09

The Canadian Women's Foundation's new national survey shows a significant difference between how able people feel to support those facing abuse and how supported those survivors of abuse actually feel. It shows that most people believe everyone has a responsibility to end gender-based violence but, at the same time, almost half think the issue’s too big to play a role in ending it and almost one quarter feel intimate partner abuse is none of their business if it doesn’t directly involve them.

We’ve seen breaking news about the rise of alt-right ideology and its connections with misogyny, racism, homophobia, and other forms of discrimination and oppression. It’s not new, but in the COVID-19 pandemic context, it’s resurging in contemporary ways. How does this ideology stand at odds with the goal of gender justice and what do we need to do to address it?

A new survey by Environics Institute for Survey Research shows that 57% of women in Canada identify as feminists, a big increase from the past. The number is especially high for young women aged 18 to 24. In addition to that, 40% of men consider themselves feminists, and 90% of people in Canada believe we need to do more to promote gender equality. Is feminism no longer considered a "bad word"?

2021/12/29

The Canadian Femicide Observatory for Justice and Accountability recently reported that, in 2020 and 2021, the rate of femicide - murders of women because they are women - has been on the rise. In Canada, a woman is killed by her current or former partner an average of every 6 days. That's a pretty frightening and unacceptable number. And that was the number before the pandemic's spike in risk of abuse. What is femicide, exactly? What can we do to end this completely preventable form of gender-based

As we move into the holiday season, we have seen more news stories about gender-based violence. For every case we do learn about, there are many we don't know about. Those facing violence aren't always safe enough to tell anyone what's happening. Sometimes, they fear a response of judgement, disbelief, or retaliation. And sometimes the response they get is a complicated mixed bag with both positive and negative elements. Addressing gender-based violence and the gender injustice that underlies it
