International Women's Day 2017
Minister Monsef invites Canadians to celebrate International Women’s Day
Hello. Bonjour. I am speaking to you on this International Women’s Day from Ottawa, the traditional territory of the Algonquin Peoples. Thanks to you, the call for gender equality is getting stronger and louder each and every day. Together, we have the power to make gender equality a reality. Please join me and countless other Canadians in breaking down barriers and calling out inequality. It’s easy to get started—just add your voice. Use social media and tell the world why gender equality matters to you using the hashtag #EqualityMatters. Share your story and take a stand for gender equality. Thank you and happy International Women’s Day!- Date de modification :
