'No joke': Ottawa to give Ukraine $4 million to fund gender-inclusive demining
National Post ^ | Feb 26, 2024 | Chris Knight

Posted on 02/26/2024 3:30:37 PM PST by packagingguy

A relatively minor item in an announcement from the Prime Minister’s Office regarding funding for “gender-transformative mine action” in the war in Ukraine has raised eyebrows on social media.

The press release that went out Saturday makes mention of $3.02 billion in financial and military support to Ukraine in 2024, but it also outlines a number of smaller, targeted initiatives.

Article content One of these, listed as “Gender-inclusive demining for sustainable futures in Ukraine,” has a funding budget of $4 million.

“This project from the HALO Trust aims to safeguard the lives and livelihoods of Ukrainians, including women and internally displaced persons, by addressing the threat of explosive ordnance present across vast areas of the country,” the item reads. “Project activities include conducting non-technical surveys and subsequent manual clearance in targeted communities; providing capacity building to key national stakeholders; and establishing a gender and diversity working group to promote gender-transformative mine action in Ukraine.”...

Canada’s announcement does seem to be somewhat fixated on gender issues, with the word “gender” appearing seven times in the press release, including a mention of “gender responsiveness” in funding for resilient food systems; fighting gender disparity in Ukrainian media; and “gender-responsive” community priorities in reconstruction efforts.

Ukrainians are trying to demine the countryside, feed themselves, rebuild the country and Canada comes up with something like this?

How sick do you have to be to come up with aid that has strings like this attached?

It seems like it really doesn't matter what gender you are when you step on a mine.

The rest of the world must think the West has gone completely insane (maybe because it has).

And to think, someone on FR questioned me on the use of the word “Globohomo” - especially next to the word “NATO”

Give their transgenders bayonets and get them to work, de-mining areas that have been mined.

Makes for a potential PPV event!

Demining?

You would have to study this junk every day to keep up.

I’ve spent time in various parts of Eastern Europe. It’s safe to say those countries are not sufficiently gay for Western governments.

Too much emphasis on family (mothers, fathers and children) probably.

“fighting gender disparity in Ukrainian media”

Considering that the Neocons, Canadian government included, as virtually WIPED OUT the fighting-aged men in Ukraine with the war they started - I’d say they’re about the most SEXIST bunch involved with this war.
