Gender Bias: The Greatest Barrier to Equity and Social Justice in Canada.
Gender bias, specifically the unequal treatment of women is the greatest barrier to equity and social justice in Canada. Both quantitatively (in terms of numbers affected) and qualitatively (in terms of the changes required) gender bias remains a profound Canadian crisis. Women are disadvantaged in marriage and in the workplace and underrepresented in the political arena. The roots of this bias are deeply ingrained in Canadian society. Further, overcoming this bias demands fundamental changes in the type of government intervention designed to address it. 15 pgs. Bibliography lists 15 sources.
