Yes, Status of Women Canada tries to understand the situation of all women in Canadian society, in all their diversity and in all regions. We know that women are not a homogenous group and that it is essential to consider the many aspects of the contributions of various groups of women to Canadian society. We also need to look at certain obstacles they face when they want to take full part in social, economic and democratic life. It is crucial to be able to grasp some of the differences that exist among the women in the various groups. As I mentioned, this is why the next edition of Women in Canada will include chapters on Aboriginal women, visible minority women, immigrant women, seniors and women with a participation or activity limitation.
