October 3, 2019 - 11:50am •

Recent changes to employment standards in BC provide job-protected, unpaid leave for people who need time away from work after facing domestic or sexual violence.

Support the PSAC Vancouver Regional Women's Committee FHaB (Feminine Hygiene and Basics bag) Campaign

June 28, 2019 - 11:55am •

Accessing feminine hygiene products is challenging for low income and homeless women.

As a result, women often have to resort to stealing feminine hygiene products, or utilizing socks or toilet paper in lieu of sanitary pads or tampons, which leaves them more susceptible to infection.
