Canadian Association for Equality (CAFE) Information

The Canadian Association for Equality is committed to achieving equality for all Canadians, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, family status, race, ethnicity, creed, age or disability. In particular, we are interested in gender equality, that is on achieving equality for all men, women, girls and boys. While we support all efforts at achieving gender equality, we will work for balance and fairness within this societal project by focusing our limited resources on those areas of gender which are understudied in contemporary culture. This has led us to a current focus on the status, health and well-being of boys and men, where attention, investment and support for educational and social programs stands at a level that is far from equal to the seriousness of the problem, while also being significantly underdeveloped compared to the resources in other important areas of social improvement. We provide current evidence-based research and balanced information. We also provide opportunities to engage in furthering this cause by participating in discussions, events and family-friendly activities. We sincerely believe the goal of true equality and human rights is best served by conducting inclusive conversations based on facts and evidence. Priority areas are men's health, family law, boys' education, suicide, safety, and misandry in the legal, social, cultural and academic spheres. Our largest program to date is the Canadian Centre for Men and Families - a social services hub and resource centre providing men and families free access to counselling, legal aid, trauma therapy and fathering after separation programs. It is located at our headquarter office in downtown Toronto, Canada. Visit www.menandfamilies.org for more info today.
