La reconnaissance du droit à l'égalité entre les sexes a toujours été le cheval de bataille du mouvement des femmes. Au Canada et au Québec, les chartes et d'autres lois ont enchâssé ce droit dont la portée et la mise en oeuvre présentent malgré tout des difficultés dans un contexte de diversité croissante sur les plans culturel et religieux. La pratique de la polygamie constitue un exemple où le droit à l'égalité entre les sexes peut se heurter à celui de la liberté religieuse. Comment régler ce conflit? Y a-t-il vraiment un conflit? Lequel des deux droits devrait avoir préséance? Les panélistes aborderont les aspects juridiques, religieux, sociologiques et genrés de cette problématique. o Materiel du CSF pour la Journee internationale des femmes 8 mars 2007: Nous vous rappelons qu'à l'occasion de la Journée internationale des femmes, le Conseil du statut de la femme (CSF) met à la disposition des divers groupes et organismes un ensemble d'outils de base pour accompagner la réflexion et les activités en laissant à chaque milieu le soin de choisir un thème en fonction de ses réalités et de ses aspirations.
