As International Women’s Day approaches, we’re reflecting on the disproportionate effect that our collective affordability, care, and climate crises have on women and gender-diverse people.
We need publicly funded, publicly delivered programs like child care, pharmacare, dental care, and much-needed reforms to Canada’s EI program to right this ship.
Women bear most of the caring and household responsibilities and still earn less than men in nearly all occupations.
This International Women’s Day, join PSAC Atlantic in calling on the federal government to alleviate the disproportionate burden of the affordability crisis on women and gender-diverse people.
