Today, we start Gender Equality Week 💚 Women, in all their diversity, should be able to fully participate in Canada’s economic, social and political life. Gender Equality “Gender equality shouldn’t be controversial – it’s good social policy and smart economic policy. It creates jobs, strengthens our economy, and makes Canada fairer for everyone. That’s what this year’s theme, ‘Unlocking Potential: Economic Power Through Gender Equality’, is all about. “Gender equality is central to everything we do. The federal government is investing in $10-a-day child care across the country and bringing more women into the workforce. For parents – and especially mums – that means being able to raise a family while growing your career. Because of our program, families across the country are saving up to $14,300 per child each year and we are holding provinces and territories accountable to ensure they create the child care spaces they promised. And since we introduced it in 2016, the Canada Child Benefit, with its monthly payments, has supported families and lifted hundreds of thousands of children out of poverty. “We are implementing the Federal 2SLGBTQI+ Action Plan (https://lnkd.in/etsRVjWD), tackling the inequalities faced by 2SLGBTQI+ Canadians. With the National Action Plan to End Gender-Based Violence (https://lnkd.in/eE6ZN4Z3), we are addressing the root causes of gender-based violence and strengthening supports for victims, survivors, and their families. And with an advocate like Marci Ian Minister for Women and Gender Equality and Youth, we are ensuring that the interests and voices of women and gender diverse Canadia ns are represented at the leadership table. https://lnkd.in/ewWe_4mK

Positive masculinity at this moment is crucial in the North West and South west Region as it js a means to foster gender equality and reduce the prevalence of Gender Based Violence within these conflict regions. Promoting healthy masculinity among our communities can create a safer environment for peace and cohensive communities. It is a benchmark for achieving equality and inclusion.

🌟 Common Misconceptions About Equality and Diversity 🌟 Many believe diversity is only about race and gender, but it includes much more—age, socioeconomic background, sexual orientation, abilities, and more. An intersectional approach recognises that these social categories are interconnected, creating systems of privilege or discrimination that vary by location, history, and culture. To address these complexities, we've created a range of 90-minute bitesize training workshops. Each session focuses on a single topic, aiming to support employees, enhance recruitment processes, and foster inclusion. Our new courses cover: - The Equality Act 2010 - Allyship - Menopause - Gender Equality - Neurodiversity - LGBTQ+ - Trans Identities - Race & Race Awareness - Faith - Disability - Age - Class in the UK Join us to gain comprehensive insights and practical strategies to promote equality and diversity within your organisation. 👉 Learn more and enrol today: https://lnkd.in/e8PUb_UY #Diversity #Inclusion #Equality #Training #Intersectionality #WorkplaceInclusion #DiversityTraining #Leadership #EmployeeSupport
