New child care project

The Coalition of Child Care Advocates of B.C., in partnership with CCAAC (Child Care Advocacy Association of Canada), is announcing its new project called Child Care is a Right.

The project will explore Canada's international treaty obligations to women, children and families as they pertain to child care.

Among the goals of the project:

• conduct legal research to clearly draw out the implications of B.C.'s obligations under international treaties to protect children and women's rights for child care
• undertake public education about a rights based approach to women's and children's rights based on the research - with child care as the example
• advance concrete options for legal and other reforms that support B.C.'s compliance with its international obligations
