The municipal council unanimously adopted a declaration to highlight International Women's Rights Day on March 8, 2026. The City of Montreal affirms that it will continue its efforts against inequalities and for the safety and participation of all women.
The declaration calls on the municipal administration to continue its work-life balance initiatives and to promote women's participation in Montreal life. It also plans to maintain support for community organizations for women, particularly emergency shelter centers, and to support the prevention of gender-based violence. It calls for the acceleration of the deployment of gender-based analysis from an intersectional perspective (GBA+) within the municipal apparatus.
The declaration concerns all of Montreal. It reaffirms the City’s orientations but does not describe any new specific program or immediate change to a municipal service.
