Document Summary

We have gender discrimination with the 25,000 refugees coming to canada. Men alone are not allowed, women and children are. Provincial governments are not on the same page. Different policies, laws, priorities, fundings to take care of the problem. 2nd big point is we ratified uncrc but not truly. We believe it"s the best document but fail to implement. There are still illegal immigrants in canada mind you. Immigrants are one of the marginalized groups in canada. The reading does not have up to date information, and looks at the tree trunk not branches underground at the grassroots level (policies, etc. ) Provinces have own laws, don"t define child under uncrc, define child in need differently. Statistics and hard numbers can have an effect on public policy like transportation. Law in the sense of children and youth as offended victims. We talked about this a bit when we spoke of the family.
