NGOs call on Canada to renew foreign funding for women and children before it runs out in 2020 GlobePolitics
About 40 Canadian NGOs are calling on the federal government to set aside $1.4-billion a year until 2030 to support the full spectrum of international women and children’s health and rights, such as vaccines, reproductive health and family-planning services.
“Trump is really emboldening moves away from women’s rights. He’s really allowing for countries to say things that they maybe wouldn’t have before. So Canada can be a really positive countervoice there,” Ms. Anderson said. “When you’re thinking about what contributes to women’s and children’s well-being, you have to consider all the pivotal points of a woman’s life, and sexual and reproductive health and rights are a pivotal point at the development stages of a woman’s life cycle,” said Madge Thomas, senior director of global policy and government affairs at Global Citizen.
