Mini-Lesson - Status Quo? The Unfinished Business of Feminism in Canada
School subjects
Civics/Citizenship - Federal/Provincial Government Family Studies/Home Economics - Feminism Health/Personal Development - Healthy Relationships History and Citizenship Education - Civil Rights and Freedoms

A recurring theme in Status Quo is that the advancement of women’s rights has stalled, if not begun to regress. What evidence of this do we see in the film? As a class, chart the progress that has been made since the 1967 Royal Commission on the Status of Women. Create a Venn diagram to compare the case of Dr. Morgentaler with Rowe v. Wade. Discuss whether it is possible to separate reproductive rights from women’s rights.
