Petition to the House of Commons

Whereas:
  • Women have long been underrepresented, underpaid and treated unequally in Canada;
  • We as Canadians recognize the importance of addressing our historical and present sexist practices; and
  • We need to recognize all past, present and future contributions women have made to every aspect of society.
We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to make International Women's Day (March 8th), a National and statutory holiday in Canada.
