For the last few months, women across the country have been speaking out for women’s equality. From Yellowknife to Corner Brook, from Vancouver to Moncton, from Halifax to Quebec City, women have organized rallies, letter writing and post card campaigns, meetings and demonstrations, and even bra burnings and mock funerals for equality. Women have written newspapers and participated in talk shows, called and written and lobbied their federal and provincial members of parliament, set up websites and equality hotlines to get the message out.

At the pan-Canadian level, an Ad Hoc Coalition for Women’s Equality and Human Rights has been working constantly to raise women’s equality concerns with Cabinet Ministers and the federal opposition parties, organized a rally on Parliament Hill on December 10th and worked with national media and local groups across the country.

The Ad Hoc Coalition for Women’s Equality and Human Rights has created a short popular pamphlet and stickers on the theme “Put Equality Back on Track”.

Please consider ordering quantities of these materials for distribution in your communities. (Contact the Canadian Labour Congress at: nadani@clc-ctc.ca to place your orders.)

Together we can make sure that women’s voices are heard. Together we can Put Equality Back on Track!
