NEW DATA: GENDER EQUALITY IN 2020
Plan International Canada has released new data showing little progress has been made towards achieving gender equality with 70 per cent of women surveyed saying they have experienced some form of inequality in their lifetime, either due to discrimination or gender stereotypes.
The 1,400 women surveyed in Canada, ages 18-65, believe that gender stereotypes fuel expectations related to appearance, behavior and career choices .
Plan International Canada is calling on Canadians to share their power and help change harmful gender stereotypes so future generations of women and girls can unleash their power within and achieve their full potential.
