To mark International Human Rights Day, The Canadian Feminist Alliance for International Action (FAFIA) in partnership with YWCA Canada have released a special chapter on how to push forward a human rights approach to post-pandemic recovery.
The A Feminist Economic Recovery Plan for Canada: Human Rights Approach publication provides an intersectional feminist human rights lens on what a meaningful COVID-19 recovery could be for our country.
Key human rights examined in the report include:
- The Right to an Adequate Standard of Living
- The Right to the Highest Standard Attainable of Physical and Mental Health
- The Right to Adequate Housing
- The Right to Social Security
On January 28th, YWCA Canada and FAFIA will host an event to unpack the publication. Registration is available at: https://gender-equity-human-rights-covid-19-recovery.eventbrite.ca
The publication builds on YWCA Canada’s earlier work on A Feminist Economic Recovery Plan for Canada: Making the Economy Work for Everyone with the Institute for Gender and Economy (GATE) at the University of Toronto. The plan was the first nationally-focused feminist economic recovery plan in the world. Read the entire plan at www.feministrecovery.ca
