Childcare is still a women’s issue

International Women’s Day 2013 is a good time to remember that childcare is essential for women’s equality. The Coalition has issued a IWD 2013 Press release.pdf calling for political action on childcare,  asking why Manitoba families don’t have the same kind of accessible affordable childcare that Quebec families do.

           For more reasons why childcare is a women’s issue, you can read the wonderful blog entry by Martha Friendly and Shani Halfon of the Childcare Resource and Research Unit, who ask “Think childcare is no longer a women’s issue? Think again.”
