In the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, there exist the fundamental provisions for equality throughout the nation-state.
Many statements with easy interpretation for the furtherance of a more fair, just, and equal society. In the sentences, or in the manner of a few statements, millions of girls and women within the country earn and deserve fundamental equality and consideration with boys and men in the society.
Of course, the distributions of inequality imply sufficiently distinct but partially overlapping distributions of equality depending on the area of the country and the personal narratives taken into account. Nonetheless, the overwhelming emphasis and ethical arc of Canada remains the integration of equality for all peoples and persons in the nation.
With Section 28 of the Charter, we discover the fundamental notion for a super-operation or meta-process for the means by which to apply the document within Canadian society unto itself through the equal application for men and women for all parts and portions and sections of the Charter. As stated, the 28th section:
Section 28 guarantees that all rights covered in the Charter apply equally to men and women.
Not a complicated process oroperation; however, this gives a basis for the other sections to integrate into a singular set. A set where everyone acquires equal treatment, especially relevant given the historical treatment of women in this country, especially Indigenous women right into the present. History remains.
Duly note, these are guarantees for all rights within the Charter for women with equal application to the men. Women must, as a moral imperative, have the equal treatment without discrimination, as per Article 15, in their fundamental treatment within the society. The basis for the civil society becomes the basis for the equality of women.
