The Toronto-based photographer is now launching, on Friday, a new project in the wake of the U.S. travel ban that targets people from seven Muslim-majority countries: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.

The White Square Campaign against the Quebec Charter of Values is so new that if you Google "carré blanc québec" you get an article by transgender activist Michelle Blanc saying that the charter doesn't go nearly far enough. Quebec is never without a sense of humour.
On November 5th 2014, the federal Minister of Citizenship and Immigration tabled the Bill S-7, or the "Zero Tolerance for Barbaric Cultural Practices Act." If this highly inflammatory and xenophobic bill is passed, it will deepen institutional barriers to immigrant and racialized women reporting violence and will prevent them from accessing support and services. In the interest of discussing this and other issues related to violence, religion, culture, equality, discrimination and women's rights, Women's Legal Education and Action Fund (LEAF) invites you to a community panel discussion.
