Description |
Women's organizing in Canada in the last twenty years has netted some significant gains. Perhaps the 1988 Supreme Court decision declaring the abortion law unconstitutional is the most striking, but a balance sheet would also include other legislative gains in the areas of equal pay, affirmative action, sexual assault, family law and sexual harassment. Increases in women's union activism and the concomitant change in union ideology have begun to reshape the labour movement. Changes in state practices concerning spousal relations and police intervention in cases of wife abuse, in educational practices surrounding sex role stereotypes and career counselling, in cultural and media practices with respect to the images of women-all combine to highlight the reconstitution of the sex/gender reality. |
