Women in Law

Happy Women Wednesday! Today, we will look at the case of Canada v Lavell, which played a key role in the fight for Indigenous women’s rights. This case is particularly notable because it was the first time that the gender inequality ingrained in the 1876 Indian Act was brought to the attention of both the public and the courtroom.

Thank you to everyone who came to visit our table today 🩵☺️
