The Alliance for Gender Justice in Migration is a network of people actively working together to end discrimination against women and gender-diverse migrants.
On #InternationalWorkersDay, @AllianceGJM members (including Prof. Geraldine Pratt) met with the Minister of Labour @HarryBainsSN.
They discussed recommendations that workers with precarious immigration status in BC be included and protected under the Employment Standards Act.
A huge thank you to all our members and supporters who joined us at the conference! We are excited to move forward with an action-packed year of collaboration, advocacy and social change. Stay tuned!
