October 18 is Persons Day in Canada.
It marks the day in 1929 when the historic decision to include women in the legal definition of “persons” was handed down by Canada’s highest court of appeal.

Everyone encounters challenges in life and it's natural to feel anxious, isolated or overwhelmed at times.

Prioritizing mental health is important during moments of difficulty or high stress.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I am sorry to see that despite years of talk, gender inequality is on full display at the #UNGA General Debate.

Less than 10% of speakers this week are women.

This is unacceptable – especially when we know gender equality delivers for peace, climate action and much more.

[UN Women @UN_Women]

Education is not a privilege. It is a fundamental RIGHT.

Yet, 119.3 million girls are still out of school globally.

[Human Rights Canada @CdnHumanRights]

September 22 to 28 is #GenderEqualityWeek. Gender-based discrimination and violence persists across Canada. Indigenous women, women with disabilities, 2SLGBTQQIA+ people, and other groups face unique and compounded barriers to equality. (1/2)
