A former Director of the Canada School of Public Service and the founder of CAMLI Corporation, Solange Guberman is a highly successful professional. Former Justice of the Peace Solange Guberman has held memberships with a variety of professional associations such as the Canadian Federation of University Women.
Founded in 1919, the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) is dedicated to promoting public education and enhancing the status of women and girls. The CFUW supports a variety of issues regarding human rights, environmental matters, education as well as the status of women. Recently, the CFUW called upon the government of Canada to support the improvement of literacy among women.
In the spirit of International Literacy Day, both the CFUW and the International Federation of University Women requested that Canada’s government increase its support of developing countries so as to improve rates of literacy amongst women. The CFUW also requested improved adult learning programs and services in response to the low literacy skills of many women living in Canada. With about two-thirds of the world’s illiterate adults being women, and more than 40 percent of adults in Canada having literacy levels below that which is required to survive in everyday life, the call for the increased attention to literacy skills is a crucial aspect for the government to consider. The CFUW is hopeful that through increased female literacy there will result a range of positive effects, including more gender equality, decreases in poverty and child mortality.as well as an overall effect of an evermore sustainable democracy.
