Despite the strides, women still lag behind men in critical areas such as political representation and wage equality.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4001677\" data-originallang=\"en\">Canada ranks 19th among 142 countries regarding the gender gap, 42nd in female parliamentary representation, and a shocking 100th on health and survival.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4001678\" data-originallang=\"en\">Let us all recommit to fight for the rights and opportunities of women and girls in Canada and around the world. Empowering women is not just the right thing to do, it is the smart thing to do. When women succeed, nations are more prosperous, safe, and secure.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4001679\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Let us work together to create a world where our daughters and sons can achieve their full potential.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4001675\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, c'\u00e9tait hier la Journ\u00e9e internationale de la femme, une occasion de souligner tout ce que nous apportent ces femmes formidables qui s'occupent de nous, qui nous inspirent et qui luttent pour l'\u00e9galit\u00e9, la libert\u00e9 et la justice.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4001676\" data-originallang=\"en\">Tout en c\u00e9l\u00e9brant les nombreuses victoires remport\u00e9es dans le parcours vers l'\u00e9quit\u00e9 entre les sexes, n'oublions pas que, malgr\u00e9 les gains r\u00e9alis\u00e9s, les femmes accusent toujours un retard par rapport aux hommes dans des domaines aussi n\u00e9vralgiques que la repr\u00e9sentation politique ou les salaires. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4001677\" data-originallang=\"en\">Sur 142 pays, le Canada se classe en effet 19<sup>e</sup> au chapitre du foss\u00e9 entre les sexes, 42<sup>e</sup> en mati\u00e8re de repr\u00e9sentation f\u00e9minine au Parlement et \u2014 quel scandale! \u2014 100<sup>e</sup> en ce qui concerne la sant\u00e9 et la survie des femmes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4001678\" data-originallang=\"en\">R\u00e9it\u00e9rons notre engagement \u00e0 d\u00e9fendre les droits et l'avenir des femmes et des filles, au Canada et dans le reste du monde. Donnons aux femmes les moyens de prendre leur vie en main. Il en va de leur avenir autant que du n\u00f4tre, car lorsque les femmes r\u00e9ussissent leur vie, c'est la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 enti\u00e8re qui prosp\u00e8re et qui devient plus s\u00fbre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4001679\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Travaillons ensemble pour cr\u00e9er un monde o\u00f9 nos filles et gar\u00e7ons peuvent atteindre leur plein potentiel.</p>"
