Girl Power

In Nova Scotia in 2001, women who worked full-year, full-time earned on average $28,822. Men earned on average $40,155. In other words, those women earned 71.6 cents for every dollar earned by men.

Girls and women take the lead in many ways. We've made gains in the professions, like business management, medicine, and law, and we're moving more and more into trades and technological fields and into politics in Nova Scotia. Look for women in the lead and you'll find them.

Girls are taking charge of their lives, telling their stories, working for change for themselves and for others.
