flag Canada’s women’s parliamentary representation dropped to 71st globally, prompting calls for quotas and reforms to address systemic barriers.

flag Canada’s global ranking for women in parliament has fallen to 71st from 28th in 2000, sparking calls for gender quotas and structural reforms to boost female representation. flag Despite Prime Minister Mark Carney’s cabinet being nearly 40% female, advocates say progress remains insufficient. flag Groups like Informed Perspectives and The Prosperity Project highlight systemic barriers including inadequate childcare, limited remote work, and harassment in Parliament as key deterrents. flag They urge federal parties to implement proactive measures to achieve gender parity, stressing that without systemic change, meaningful representation will remain out of reach.
