Women teachers told to continue to fight to assure equality Equality to all, regardless of gender, is still an important issue for the women who encounter discrimination, the Huron Federa­ tion of Women Teachers and their guests were told at the third annual celebration of the Charter of Rights, 1986’s Outstanding wo­ man by London Junior Chamber of Commerce, Laura Greaves. Ms. Greaves is an executive on the Board of Directors for the National Action Committee on the Status of Women. Discriminatory laws remain in the books despite a three year government “tidy-up” time revealed Ms. Greaves. The Legal, Educational and Action Fund (LEAF), has been testing some of these. There is a subtle systemic discrimination, Ms. Greaves said, that is now being uncovered. Examples of this can be seen with the “spouse in the house” rule requiring recipients of family benefits to live as single persons and also laws governing terms of employmentfor domestic workers. Although these laws seem neutral most of the people involved are mostly women. LEAF was set up in the beginning to raise money to litigate cases establishing women’s rights and is now going ahead with its plan to initiate legal action against discriminatory legislature. Equality can be complex be­ cause women must be sure “what we want to preserve” but still have the courage to be plaintiffs when faced with discrimination. She believes that because of the historical and physiological differ­ ences between men and women, separate organizations must be kept intact while working towards equality. The guest speaker said “we can’tforgetour history and how long it took women to get this far’ ’ and women should decide what theywantandwhythey want it. The next step involves the work to get that decision translated into law THE PROBLEM Dandelions! when husbands and friends will be invited to share the evening with them.
