The charity says the government is making good progress on feminist issues.
Oxfam Canada says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau needs to put some "bold" investments behind his government's feminist policies.
The charity released its 2019 feminist scorecard before International Women's Day on Friday, assessing steps the government took between March 2018 and February 2019 to make meaningful progress toward gender equity. Ravon pointed also to the introduction of the first-ever Poverty Reduction Act, the creation of the Department of Women and Gender Equality and the doubling of funding for Canadian women's movements as other wins over the last year in advancing women's rights in Canada.
