STILL WAITING FOR JUSTICE: Provincial policies and gender inequality in BC 2001 - 2008
March 7, 2008
Report shows rich getting richer, women getting poorer
A study released by the B.C. Federation of Labour shows that policies of the Gordon Campbell government have unfairly impacted women. The Report, “Still Waiting For Justice: Provincial policies and gender equality in BC 2001-2008”, was written by University of British Columbia Professors Gillian Creese and Veronica Strong-Boag.
Whether it’s employment standards, minimum wage rates, taxation, childcare or housing policies, this study shows the Campbell government has systematically disbanded agencies that were designed to help women at the same time they introduced policies that have trapped many women in poverty.
