The main points are: - globalization is slowly but surely closing the gender gap in developing countries by raising awareness and in school enrolment - Canada is a world leader in promoting gender equality in most aspects of development, trade, peace building, human rights - the CIDA and partners have contributed to economic independence for women, gender equality in education, and a stronger role for women in decision making.
This source makes me think about how small actions can contribute to making the big picture a little brighter. Just things like making primary school an easier place to attend helps.

The main points pretty much summarizes how children, in a globalizing world, are the first targets. By exploiting children in poor countries, labour is much cheaper and products are much cheaper.

The main points are that it is illegal for an employer or service provider to discriminate or harass a person on any of these several categories. If you click on the link of each category it gives you a definition and why it is under the human rights act. These categories include: race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, family status, physical or mental disability and pardoned criminal conviction.
This source makes me think about how globalization has had such a widespread affect on racism, discrimination, prejudice and harassment that they actually have to make laws against it. Just because of the color of skin or clothes someone is wearing it automatically puts people into categories.
This is a reliable source because it is funded by the government of Canada.
