Example: Men and women are only equal through the cabinet.

In Canada, men, women and children are equal from the age of 12 and over.

Example: Men, Women and Children are only seen as equal when they have reached the legal age of 12.

In Canada, men and women are not equal unless otherwise stated.

Parents cannot cut their daughters’ private parts (female genital mutilation) and they cannot hurt their children. Someone cannot force someone else to marry (forced marriage). A person cannot be treated violently because they are a man or a woman (abuse). These are crimes in Canada.
