Advocacy and equality
ETFO is clearly seen as a leader among the teacher federations on equity issues. With 80% of female members, ETFO is very active in its support for women's participation and leadership.
ETFO executives have adopted this definition of justice:
ETFO recognizes that we live in a society characterized by individual and systemic discrimination against certain groups. In this context, ETFO defines fairness as justice achieved through proactive action that results in equality for all.
