Ontario court upholds pay equity ruling for midwives: ‘We’re tired of being devalued’ thestar.com/politics/provi… via Toronto Star

I’m a #midwife in Mississauga and I stand with Ontario Midwives for #payequity. Time for Doug Ford to invest in closing the pay gap! #MidwivesKeepWinning thanks to @AngelineSaysHi Toronto Star for highlighting our ongoing fight to resolve the pay equity gap for midwives

Yesterday, the highest court in Ontario ruled in midwives’ favour. Again! Time for the Ontario government to stop wasting tax payers’ money fighting the province's own Human Rights Code. #NoMoreAppeals #MidwivesKeepWinning #canadianmidwives ow.ly/hawY50Jxzwf

Nova Scotia Midwives support and celebrate our Ontario colleagues' win for pay equity! #MidwivesKeepWinning #NoMoreAppeals #ClosetheGap #wheresmymidwifens

Safe abortion care is essential to protect the health of women & girls everywhere. Removing access to #abortion care will put more women & girls at risk of illegal abortions and the consequent safety issues that would bring bit.ly/3kA2Z1P

We support International Confederation of Midwives call on governments to defend safe access to abortion care. Access to safe and legal abortion is a human right. There is a self referral line (1-833-352-0719) for information about accessing an abortion in all areas of NS. internationalmidwives.org/icm-news/state…

If you are organizing a rally for abortion ‘rights’ in Canada please make sure first that you know how access here works. Abortion is completely decriminalized. Access barriers include poverty, stigma, racism and gendered violence. Organize to end those things, please.
