Understanding who we are
Today, the Centre for Gender, Diversity and Inclusion Statistics (CGDIS) released the first infographic in a series titled "Understanding who we are: Sex at birth and gender of people in Canada."
As part of the Disaggregated Data Action Plan, Statistics Canada continues to collect and publish diversity data in response to the growing need for better disaggregated data in Canada. This infographic series provides brief, easily understood information about concepts and terms related to diversity and inclusion to raise awareness of the many diverse groups living in Canada.
This infographic is being released ahead of Gender Equality Week, held September 18 to 24, 2022. Gender Equality Week celebrates the progress made in advancing gender equality in Canada while reflecting on the work that remains to be done to enable everyone, regardless of their gender, to reach their full potential.
