“Unlocking Potential: Economic Power Through Gender Equality”.

Women, in all their diversity, should be able to fully participate in Canada’s economic, social and political life. Gender Equality Week is an opportunity to celebrate the progress Canada has made to date in advancing gender equality, while reflecting on the work that remains. This year’s theme, Unlocking Potential: Economic Power Through Gender Equality serves as a powerful reminder that gender equality is essential for a thriving and equitable society. Dismantling barriers to gender equality leads to a more robust and sustainable economy which fosters a future full of opportunities that benefits everyone.
