Marit Stokke: International Women's Day

Manitoba Dept: It's not a grade that gets a gold star, but at least Manitoba passed the test on women's equality, according to a new report card, according to Winnipeg Free Press. The grade: C+, the same score the province earned in UNPAC's first evaluation in 2010 and mareigha Phelps Doran right and Marit Stokke help carry the International Women's Day banner down Main Street Thursday. To mark the 101st anniversary of International Women's Day, members of Manitoba advisory group UNPAC gathered at the legislature on Thursday to release their second report card on Manitoba's progress toward full equality for women.
