Women Protesting Cuts on the Web

January 7, 2007 - 3:52pm

A number of websites have sprouted up to protest the Conservative cuts to the Status of Women Canada. The cuts will also end funding to women's organizations that do lobbying, advocacy or research on rights issues, and the closure of most of the federal agency's regional offices. A group of Halifax women started the site: www.thewomenareangry.org about the cuts. Another site, the statusreport.ca is dedicated to raising awareness of the cuts. Read a CBC article, "Women upset with cuts to Status of Women Canada take protest to the web."
