The YWCA has released two valuable new reports this year:
Digital Conversations about Women, Gender and Violence in Social and New Media [3]
YWCA Canada Brief to the Standing Committee on the Status of Women: Study of the impact of social media and new communications technologies on violence against women and girls.
Educated, Employed and Equal [4]
The Economic Prosperity Case for National Child Care
This new report discusses how women’s advances in the work force and education over the last three decades demonstrate an unstoppable movement toward equality and mark a quiet revolution in women’s lives. The gender gap has closed in employment numbers and reversed in education without a corresponding social policy response. Canada needs early learning and child care services, not a social policy gap that is decades behind reality.
