It means equal, not equal but different, not equal but equally respected, not equal but equally important.
Equal. How equal has been shown by our court decisions. In Canada men do not have to wear a shirt in public. We have decided that women do not have to wear shirts in public. Lots of people have lots of reactions to that but it is important that women can go topless in public.
That so many women do not feel safe going topless in public shows that while many Canadians, particularly multi-generational Canadians have strong beliefs, backed by courts, we are failing women. They are not yet equal.
The biggest struggle now is with new Canadians. They were not here during the 50's, 60's and 70's when Canada made spousal abuse not just not acceptable but very offensive to most Canadian men. New Canadians often bring with them attitudes and cultural practices towards women that are not just offensive to Canadians but illegal. Equality in Canada means not accepting such attitudes.
Equal means Equal, the same in all ways possible. The same rights and duties. Equal.

What is the difference between equity and equality?
Gender equity is the process of being fair to women and men. To ensure fairness, strategies and measures must often be available to compensate for women's historical and social disadvantages that prevent women and men from otherwise operating on a level playing field. Equity leads to equality. Gender equality requires equal enjoyment by women and men of socially-valued goods, opportunities, resources and rewards. Where gender inequality exists, it is generally women who are excluded or disadvantaged in relation to decision-making and access to economic and social resources. Therefore a critical aspect of promoting gender equality is the empowerment of women, with a focus on identifying and redressing power imbalances and giving women more autonomy to manage their own lives. Gender equality does not mean that men and women become the same; only that access to opportunities and life changes is neither dependent on, nor constrained by, their sex. Achieving gender equality requires women's empowerment to ensure that decision-making at private and public levels, and access to resources are no longer weighted in men's favour, so that both women and men can fully participate as equal partners in productive and reproductive life.
