Administrative history
"The Toronto Wages for Housework Committee (WFH) was a women’s group based in Toronto which began its operations around 1973. This committee was a branch of an international organization of the same name. It demanded that the federal and provincial governments pay wages for housework. It believed that housework kept women in the home, without financial independence from men. It also fought against the lower wages women received in paid employment, which also kept women dependent on a man’s income. The group attempted to rectify the inequality by launching campaigns in which isolated women could come together and struggle for their causes.
The Toronto Wages for Housework Committee gathered a large number of articles, pamphlets and newsletters from various organizations including the Wages for Housework Committee from other countries, organizations across Canada and several organizations from the Toronto area. The Wages for Housework Committee of Toronto often attended conferences on women's issues and kept themselves aware of the activities of other organizations. They were also active in organizing campaigns and producing articles related to wage issues. Although the date of their demise is not known, it appears from the documents that they ceased operation sometime in 1986.

Le Toronto Wages for Housework Committee (WFH) est un groupe de femmes basé à Toronto qui a commencé ses activités vers 1973. Ce comité est une branche d'une organisation internationale du même nom. Il exige que les gouvernements fédéral et provinciaux versent des salaires pour les travaux ménagers. Il estime que les travaux ménagers maintiennent les femmes à la maison, sans indépendance financière par rapport aux hommes. Il lutte également contre les salaires inférieurs que les femmes reçoivent dans le cadre d'un emploi rémunéré, ce qui les maintient également dans une situation de dépendance par rapport au revenu d'un homme. Le groupe tente de remédier à l'inégalité en lançant des campagnes au cours desquelles les femmes isolées peuvent se réunir et lutter pour leurs causes.
Le Toronto Wages for Housework Committee a rassemblé un grand nombre d'articles, de brochures et de bulletins d'information provenant de diverses organisations, dont le Wages for Housework Committee d'autres pays, des organisations de tout le Canada et plusieurs organisations de la région de Toronto. Le Wages for Housework Committee de Toronto assiste souvent à des conférences sur les questions relatives aux femmes et se tient au courant des activités d'autres organisations. Il a également participé à l'organisation de campagnes et à la rédaction d'articles sur les questions salariales. Bien que la date de leur disparition ne soit pas connue, il semble, d'après les documents, que leurs activités aient cessé au cours de l'année 1986."
