Rona Ambrose: Gender Equality In Canada

Frontier Centre Dept: Rona Ambrose, minister responsible for the status of women, said the government is taking gender-based violence "very seriously" and called on women's groups and members of the immigrant community to help tackle these "heinous abuses.", according to Montreal Gazette. The report, by the Frontier Centre for Public Policy, outlines 14 recommendations for Ottawa, including mandatory sessions for male sponsors and sponsored women on gender-equality in Canada and the federal government yesterday affirmed its zero-tolerance stance against "honour killing," declaring such "barbaric cultural practices" as "heinous abuses" with "no place in Canadian society." Her announcement was apparently prompted by this weekend's release of a report focusing on the growing problem of the abuse of girls and women in Canada's immigrant communities. As reported in the news.
