Inspired in part by funding cuts to organizations working to improve women's opportunities in Canada, this campaign encourages Canadians to speak up for women's equality and make some noise.

By taking action and supporting the Women's Future Fund, Canadians can make a difference in achieving full equality for women in Canada.
