Feminism on the rise in Canada, but experts say more policy action needed to match

'If the Canadian public is generally on side [with feminism] then that makes it easier for policies to come forward and to be brought into place that will continue to move the agenda forward,' says Sen. Donna Dasko.

Trade Minister Mary Ng, left, Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly, Deputy PM and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are pictured meeting with U.S. President Joe Biden and team in the Oval Office on Nov. 18, 2021, during a trip to Washington, D.C., for the North American Leaders' Summit. Independent Senator Donna Dasko, who recently commissioned a survey on feminism in Canada, noted the Liberals have identified themselves as strong allies on the subject.
