LEAF Edmonton\u2019s annual Persons Day Event is held in celebration of that ruling which decided that women were to be considered persons under the law and eligible to sit in the Canadian Senate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Women\u2019s Legal Education and Action Fund (LEAF), Edmonton<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since April 17, 1985, when equality rights were enshrined in sections 15 and 28 of the&nbsp;Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms,&nbsp;LEAF has worked toward equality for women and girls. LEAF intervenes in key cases to ensure that when courts interpret equality rights, there will be a systemic improvement in women\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over its thirty-year legacy, LEAF has achieved numerous victories in the courts and advanced substantive equality for women and girls in Canada.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":9942,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[18,81,4],"tags":[106,115,113,161],"class_list":["post-9941","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events","category-leaf-edmonton","category-whats-new","tag-events","tag-justice","tag-leaf-edmonton","tag-persons-day"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>LEAF Edmonton, Persons Day Breakfast presents: \u201cRape Shield Law: Then and Now\u201d - LEAF<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.leaf.ca\/fr\/news\/leaf-edmonton-persons-day-breakfast-presents-rape-shield-law-then-and-now\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"fr_FR\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"LEAF Edmonton, Persons Day Breakfast presents: \u201cRape Shield Law: Then and Now\u201d - LEAF\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"LEAF Edmonton cordially invites you to our annual Persons Day Breakfast fundraiser.
