The EFC has made a submission to a UN committee reviewing Canada's commitment to eliminate discrimination against women (CEDAW).
The EFC's brief outlines the negative impact of Canada’s euthanasia laws on women, particularly women with disabilities. It underscores that prostitution is a system of violence and exploitation, and points to the connection between human trafficking and prostitution.
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.
