(Im)migrant women strengthen Canadian society and the economy in many ways, but they bear too much insecurity and personal sacrifice in the process. It's time to better protect #ImmigrantWomen in #Canada , and #Policy4Women sees a path forward: https://t.co/DfSa7op4YB #cdnpoli

#ImmigrantWomen contribute to #Canada in many ways, often making large personal sacrifices in the process. But our policies don't do enough to protect or support them. Learn more in the new #Policy4Women release: https://t.co/DfSa7op4YB #cdnpoli

Isn't it past time for Canadian governments to seriously #engage with diverse #women? To create space for our voices, our concerns, and our ideas to reach policymakers? Check out Policy4Women's new briefing: Amplifying Women's Voices https://t.co/Ug2WYikPt0 #WomensHistoryMonth

CDN women who dedicate time to caring for their home & family members make a huge contribution to our economy, yet they are one of the most economically vulnerable groups in Canada. It’s time to better support women: https://t.co/uVfzZDrWj5 #UnpaidWork #Policy4Women #CdnPolicy

Women deserve equal rights, protections & opportunities—especially in a democratic nation with a self-professed feminist leader. It’s time to reflect on the work of the Royal Commission on the #StatusofWomen & build upon it. #Policy4Women #Feminism #Canada https://t.co/qOcBSHzEF4

2020 marks the 50th anniversary of the Royal Commission on the #StatusofWomen. #Policy4Women looks at its work, what we’ve accomplished, and where we should go next to achieve true #GenderJustice and #GenderEquality in #Canada. https://t.co/qOcBSHzEF4

[FemNorthNet @FemNorthNetwork]

Today marks 47 yrs since the Royal Commission on the #StatusofWomen released its groundbreaking report on women’s lives in #Canada. What was learned? How far have we come since then? What more do we have to do? https://t.co/qOcBSHzEF4 #Policy4Women #GenderJustice #GenderEquality
