Since 2006, sexual offenses committed by minors have jumped 22,200% in Canada, an increase largely linked to the sharing of intimate images. Why has sharing these photos become so commonplace among our young people?

Transgenderism: Ottawa rewrites reality to the detriment of women

Média

August 21 2025

By discreetly redefining the words woman, man, and homosexual, Ottawa aligns itself with LGBTQ ideology. A move laden with consequences that denies biological reality and plunges Canada into a drift rejected by the majority.

On July 24, the Canadian Ministry of Justice quietly updated a series of documents on the state of the Canadian justice system.

Behind what might have seemed like a simple administrative revision, we actually uncover a political gesture with significant consequences: the official redefinition of the words woman, man, and homosexual to align them with the dogmas imposed by LGBTQ activists.

For example, a woman will now be defined as "all individuals who identify as women, whether they are cisgender or transgender."

Jocelyne Robert: guilty of failing to comply

July 11 2025

Marie Wright et Alexandra Houle

The Réseau féministe québécois denounces the ideological censorship that pushed Jocelyne Robert, a pioneer in sex education, to leave her professional order for daring to criticize the so-called 'transaffirmative' approach.

Jocelyne Robert is a renowned sexologist in Quebec. At the Reseau féministe québécois, many of us grew up with her sex education books.

Jocelyne Robert was a pioneer: the first sexologist to talk about consent, pleasure, and respect to the teenagers of Quebec. She is no longer a sexologist. She resigned from her professional order because, for her, scientific rigor is more important than anything.Ms. Robert is the adult in the room and has all our respect for this courageous act.

Transactivist terror silences women

Threatened, censored, assaulted: those who defend the rights of (real) women against transactivism often pay a heavy price.

In a recent article published in La Presse, journalist Louise Leduc echoes some criticisms directed at the report of the wise committees on gender identity: most of the people who came to testify before the committee did so anonymously, which, according to her critics, would render the exercise not credible.

Why not seek to understand the reason that led so many people to remain in the shadows?

No to transfers of men to women's prisons in Canada

To the attention of: The Minister of Justice of Canada The Minister of Justice of Quebec

We, the undersigned, call for urgent reform of Canadian prison policies to protect the safety of women in prison.

Since the adoption of Bill C-16 in 2017, which amended the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Criminal Code, Canada recognizes gender identity and gender expression as prohibited grounds of discrimination. Although this law was designed to protect the rights of transgender people, it has had unexpected repercussions on women's equality rights guaranteed in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms in several sectors, including the prison system.

Mr. Minister of Justice,The Quebec feminist network wishes to express its deep concern following the recent ruling by the Court of Quebec regarding multiparenthood.We respectfully ask you to appeal this ruling. We believe that such a judicial decision goes far beyond a mere adjustment of family law: it actually opens the door to the implicit recognition of polygamous practices in Quebec, which are criminalized in Canada under section 293 of the Criminal Code precisely because of their recognized effects on women and children.This ruling, which allows a child to have more than two legal parents, raises fundamental issues both in terms of children's rights and the social model we wish to pass on.

What does it tell us about the way women's bodies are exposed, consumed... and sometimes betrayed, even within feminist struggles?

She was fired after 13 years of service by her employer, Vancouver Coastal Health, after being charged with professional misconduct by her professional college

His fault: having said publicly (and not in the context of her work) that sex was biological and that it could not be changed. In thirteen years of service, no patient has complained about the quality of care provided by Ms. Hamm. It was the complaints of activists that led to this legal saga.

She dared to talk about reality.

At the time of writing, the new Prime Minister, Mark Carney, has abolished the Department of Status of Women. His missions continue, however. Steven Guilbault would oversee it. We understand that this decision is likely temporary.


The firm's thinness is justified by the trade war with the United States. That said, after a federal election, whether Pierre Poilievre or Mark Carney is elected, we believe it is imperative that a department deal with the status of women and gender equality.

The recent announcement of the government's Abortion Access Action Plan 2024-2027 is a significant step forward. It marks a renewed commitment to improving access to essential services and accurate information, particularly when it comes to the abortion pill. Curiously, this medical tool is still little used in Quebec, despite its prevalence in other Canadian provinces and the United States. It would be useful to examine the reasons for this delay: is it a problem of medical training, public information, or a persistent taboo surrounding this method?
