The EFC has written and submitted a brief outlining the negative impact of Canada’s euthanasia laws on women, particularly women with disabilities, and the connection between human trafficking and prostitution.
This brief to the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) is part of a review of Canada’s commitment to eliminate discrimination against women.
The EFC urges Canada to repeal the law allowing euthanasia for mental illness, to establish a permanent national anti-trafficking strategy and to uphold, fully implement and enforce Canada’s prostitution laws.
