To mark International Women’s Day, this week’s feature film is Status Quo? The Unfinished Business of Feminism in Canada.
In 1967 the landmark Royal Commission on the Status of Women made recommendations to address the inequalities faced by women. Now, Status Quo? zeroes in on key concerns first raised 45 years ago: violence against women, access to abortion, and universal childcare. How much progress have we made on these issues? Status Quo? is crucial viewing for every Canadian, especially those unfamiliar with the vital achievements of the feminist movement.
