Femmes Équité Atlantique (FÉA) offre aux décideurs politiques un
calendrier qui met en évidence les iniquités socioéconomiques auxquelles
font face les femmes acadiennes et francophones des provinces
atlantiques.
Le groupe FÉA, créé en 2004, est composé de femmes représentantes
d’organismes porteurs de dossiers féminins. Le mandat du groupe consiste
à renforcer les capacités des femmes acadiennes et francophones des
provinces atlantiques à trouver des solutions aux problèmes liés à
l’absence d’équité socioéconomique
L’absence d’équité socioéconomique a des conséquences directes sur
l’éducation, la santé, la violence faite aux femmes et la pauvreté.
Femmes Équité Atlantique (FÉA) is offering policy makers a calendar
that highlights the socio-economic inequities faced by Acadian and
Francophone women in the Atlantic Provinces.
The FÉA, established in 2004, is made up of women representing
organizations that deal with women’s issues. The group’s mandate is
to strengthen the ability of Acadian and Francophone women in the
Atlantic provinces to find solutions to problems related to socioeconomic inequity.
Socio-economic inequity has a direct impact on education, health,
violence against women, and poverty.
Women are not poor because they want to be.
Si les femmes sont plus souvent pauvres, ce n’est pas parce qu’elles le
veulent.
Si les femmes vivent dans des situations de violence, ce n’est pas parce
qu’elles le veulent.
Si les femmes sont en moins bonne santé, ce n’est pas parce qu’elles le
veulent.
Les femmes vivent ces situations à cause d’absence d’équité socioéconomique. Nous devons compter sur tout le monde, hommes et
femmes, pour changer et améliorer cette situation qui affecte nos grandsmères, nos mères, nos sœurs, nos filles, toute la famille et l’ensemble de
la communauté.
Women do not experience abuse because they want to.
Women are not in worse health because they want it that way
Women live in these situations because of socio-economic
inequities. We have to count on everyone – men and women – to
change and improve the situation that is affecting our grandmothers,
mothers, sisters, daughters, the entire family and our community.
Together, we can make a difference!
Ensemble nous pouvons faire une différence!

International
Women’s Day was
made official by the
United Nations in
1977. It originated in
the many demonstrations and
work-related battles
fought by women in
the early 20th
century, demanding
the right to vote,
better work
conditions, and
gender equality in
the workplace.
