CALL THE EQUALITY HOTLINE
613-941-6888

“If women in Canada feel their rights
have been violated, they can pick up the phone and call” Conservative Minister responsible for the Status of Women, Bev Oda.
Stephen Harper believes equality is no longer a concern for women in Canada. Harper’s Government has cut funding for women’s equality, cut access to justice, even cut “equality”
as an official goal of the government.
The Harper government is denying reality.

• In 2003, women with post-secondary degrees earned 68.9% of what their male counterparts earned for full-time, full-year work.
• Half of women will experience criminal violence by men in their homes, communities, workplaces and schools in their lifetime.

CALL THE EQUALITY HOTLINE
613-941-6888

Tell Stephen Harper why equality still matters:
• If you are a parent, do you have access to affordable, quality child-care?
• Have you, or someone you love, been
physically or sexually abused or harassed? Did you/they get the support needed?
• If your rights were violated in your workplace, is there a process in place for you to address your concerns?
• Are there barriers to advancing your career or getting ahead in your workplace because you’re a woman?
Tell the Prime Minister: “the government must invest in equality rights for ALL women in Canada”
