“Our Board members come from a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences but all have a shared passion for advocating on behalf of those who have been subject to sex and gender discrimination leading to inequality. These women have been on the frontlines of the battle for substantive equality rights for women and girls, whether in sexual assault cases, in matters of workplace discrimination, or in the halls of Parliament” says Megan Stephens, LEAF’s Executive Director and General Counsel. “I look forward to working with these talented women, as we continue to engage in litigation, law reform and education to advance the rights of women and girls in Canada.”
