Who We Are

REAL Women of Canada (Realistic, Equal, Active, for Life) is a non-partisan, non-denominational organization of independent women. We come from all walks of life, occupations, social and economic backgrounds. Some members work full or part-time outside the home, while some mainly work in the home. We represent a broad spectrum of Canadian women who, until our formation, did not have a public forum in which to express their views.

Objectives

We promote equality for all women. One of our objectives is to support policies for women that provide equal opportunity in education, employment and retirement. We believe that social and economic problems and solutions for women today should be resolved by taking into account their impact on the family and society as a whole.

Our view is that the family, which is now undergoing serious strain, is the most important unit in Canadian society. We believe that the fragmentation of the Canadian family is one of the major causes of disorder in society today.

Our objectives are as follows:

1. To reaffirm that the family is society’s most important unit, since the nurturing of its members is best accomplished in the family setting.
2. To promote the equality, advancement and well being of women, recognizing them as interdependent members of society, whether in the family, workplace or community.
3. To promote, secure and defend legislation which upholds the Judeo-Christian understanding of marriage and family life.
4. To support government and social policies that make homemaking possible for women who, out of necessity, would otherwise have to take employment outside the home.
5. To support the right to life of all innocent individuals from conception to natural death.
