Women Canada: Gender-Based Strategy and Gender-Based Violence

women canada: That will include money for creating a centre of excellence within Status of Women Canada, which could help the relatively small agency with an annual budget of less than 40 million get better at making sure its ideas are both evidence-based and taken seriously government-wide, according to The Chronicle Herald. The need for more and better data was something the federal government had in mind when it began developing the federal gender-based strategy. Status of Women Minister Maryam Monsef will shed more light on which programs will get a share of the 101 million over five years plus 21 million annually going forward the 2017 budget committed to a federal strategy on gender-based violence when she unveils the plan in Toronto. We need to understand when we spend money, how it's being spent, what the results are, Patty Hajdu, who was then minister for status of women, told The Canadian Press in June 2016 as she got ready to launch cross-country consultations. We have no plan. We have no data. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
