Gender Equality in Canada

Gender equality is a fundamental right in many nations, aiming to create a peaceful, prosperous, and sustainable world. It includes equal rights, responsibilities, and opportunities for all genders, including the right to liberty, security, education, and work. However, women, transgender people, and non-binary people have been more vulnerable to discrimination based on their gender since history.
