A new guide for aspiring Canadian citizens will warn off "barbaric" cultural practices that physically harm women.*
The book, to be officially launched today by Citizenship and Immigration Minister Jason Kenney, contains a special section on "The Equality of Women and Men."
"In Canada, men and women are equal under the law. Canada's openness and generosity do not extend to barbaric cultural practices that tolerate spousal abuse, 'honour killings,' female genital mutilation or other gender-based violence," the document reads.
"Those guilty of these crimes are severely punished under Canada's criminal laws."
