Description:

On February 6, 2012, Lynell Anderson and Susan Harney, two child care advocates representing the Coalition of Child Care Advocates of BC and the Child Care Advocacy Association of Canada, appeared in Geneva, Switzerland before the United Nations Pre-sessional Committee on the Rights of the Child.

Our report, A Tale of Two Canadas: Implementing Rights in Early Childhood, formed the basis of the presentation highlighting Canada's failure to uphold the rights of women, children and families with regards to providing affordable, accessible, quality child care.
