1st Anniversary of Harper's Broken Promise to Women

Promise made....

"Yes I am ready to support women's human rights and I agree that Canada has more to do to meet international obligations to women's equality.

If elected, I will take concrete and immediate measures, as recommended by the United Nations, to ensure that Canada upholds its commitments to women in Canada"
Stephen Harper January 18, 2006

Promise broken....

Since coming into office, the Harper Conservatives have

• closed more than half of the Status of Women regional offices
• have changed the funding criteria for women's groups and have removed the word "equality" from the SWC's list of objectives
• eliminated support for equality rights test cases (the Court Challenges Programs)
• refused to adopt proactive [pay equity legislation and have cancelled funding to the Canada-wide child care program

The Harper Conservatives have consistently dismissed eqaulity rights for women. They will continue unless we speak up !
