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. Most human rights instruments prohibit discrimination in treatment and outcome. Canadian law prohibits discrimination and differential treatment based on gender, with Section 28 of the Canadian Human Rights Act of 1977 stating that all Canadians have the right to equal opportunity, fair treatment, and an environment free of discrimination. October is dedicated to women, girls, and gender equality in Canada since 1992. However, statistics show high rates of gender-based violence, gender pay gap, and sexual assault and harassment against women. The report discusses ongoing human rights problems related to gender discrimination in Canada, focusing on women's rights in general and women from minority backgrounds, such as Indigenous, disabled, and transgender communities.
