While we have achieved a lot, there is still work to be done so that all women and children – no matter where they live – can access quality healthcare and thrive in communities around the world and here at home. The time is now to let your friends and family know you’re proud of Canada’s leadership in supporting the health rights of women and children by sharing the Lead On Canadacampaign.
The statistics presented in the blog post are based on data available in the CanWaCH Project Explorer which aims to capture the full spectrum of Canadian efforts in global health and gender equality. This includes initiatives funded by the Government of Canada and other funding sources.
