Evening Brief: Steep post-pandemic climbs ahead for women By iPolitics. Published on Mar 8, 2021 6:03pm Photo: Carey Moulton, WikiMedia Commons
Good evening to you.
“There’s no doubt, when you add women, you change politics and you change it for the better.” That was the message from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau delivered today to the delegates attending the Daughters of the Vote.
“We are all stronger for the leadership of women and people of every gender identity,” he said, adding that a rollback of the progress women have made can’t be a legacy of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has seen many women leaving the workforce at a higher rate than men, and often taking on the greater share of caring for kids at home.
