International Womens Day

  

Today is International Womens Day, which has been observed now for 100 years. The laws and culture in Western countries have changed significantly in that time - women couldn't even vote in Canada in 1911!. Today, Canadian women are more empowered
in their choices of career, family, and lifestyle. However, there are still many places in the world where women don't enjoy the freedoms we have in Canada. And there are women in Canada who are still limited by issues such as violence against women, unequal pay, and limited access to childcare.
