Why does Harper oppose women’s equality?
Behind closed doors, Stephen Harper called women who want equality “left-wing fringe groups.”
The Reform-Conservatives attacked pay equity for women in their economic statement last fall. They purged the word
“equality” from the mandate of Status of Women Canada, and slashed programs and services for women, including the
Court Challenges Program.
Liberals believe women should be active participants at every level of society. We want to end inequality and women's poverty.
And we support groups that advocate for women's equality.
