We are calling on all citizens to engage in identifying solutions for the most pressing issues affecting women through this event and beyond.
Up For Debate is an alliance of over 160 organizations across the country representing more than 5 million Canadians. We want to see party leaders explain how they plan to build a more equal Canada for us all, and make meaningful commitments to change women’s lives for the better, at home and around the world. This must start with a nationally broadcast leaders’ debate on issues identified by women.
