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)

[UN Women @UN_Women]

Despite progress on #GenderEquality, women still earn on average 20% less than men globally.

Bill C-226 on environmental racism is officially law! 🎉

[CBC News @CBCNews]

For years, researchers have shown how Indigenous, Black and other racialized groups have been disproportionately affected by polluting industries.
Now, a new law will require the federal government to better track this injustice and aim to correct it. https://t.co/IP7b27J6d6 .

On World Refugee Day, support the movement to stop locking up people who have come seeking safety. All provinces have now agreed to end immigration detention in their jails. Tell the federal gov to get on board with human rights. #WelcomeToCanada #CdnPoli
