Administrative history

The Canadian Advisory Council on the Status of Women (CACSW) was established by the federal government of Canada on the recommendation of the Royal Commission on the Status of Women (RCSW) in 1973. The primary purpose of its creation was to educate the public and make an impact on the issues and concerns facing Canadian women, including: access to employment in male dominated professions, equal pay, female reproduction rights, child care, representation in government, constitutional reform, health care, sexual assault, violence against women, and more.

The CACSW was comprised of one president, two vice presidents, fifteen regionally representative members working part-time, and approximately thirty office staff members. After years of providing publications on women's research and helping to reform the constitution, the CACSW was eventually dismantled on April 1, 1995.

Le Conseil consultatif canadien sur le statut de la femme (CCCSF) a été créé par le gouvernement fédéral du Canada sur recommandation de la Commission royale d'enquête sur le statut de la femme (CRESF) en 1973. Le but premier de sa création était d'éduquer le public et d'avoir un impact sur les questions et les préoccupations des femmes canadiennes, notamment : l'accès à l'emploi dans les professions dominées par les hommes, l'égalité des salaires, les droits de reproduction des femmes, la garde des enfants, la représentation au gouvernement, la réforme constitutionnelle, les soins de santé, les agressions sexuelles, la violence à l'égard des femmes, et plus encore.

Le CACSW était composé d'un président, de deux vice-présidents, de quinze membres représentant les régions et travaillant à temps partiel, et d'environ trente membres du personnel de bureau. Après des années de publications sur la recherche sur les femmes et d'aide à la réforme de la constitution, le CACSW a finalement été démantelé le 1er avril 1995.
