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.

The Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC) was created with the goal of promoting the interests of university and higher education research. As an advocate for higher education, the AUCC develops public policy, manages a variety of international programs and scholarships and creates leadership seminars. The AUCC President has recently published an article discussing how the university experience provides new ways for students to prepare themselves for their future careers. 

Via research opportunities, global study, and internships, students in Canada’s universities are receiving a high level of preparation for successful careers. With recent data showing that a university degree is one of the best protections against unemployment, most students and universities recognize the need for quality preparation before entering the work force. The article explains that many students are aware of those fields that are in high demand and recognize the value of a university degree. Undergraduate enrollment is at a new high in Canada, with just over one million individuals working toward their degrees, reflecting the increased recognition among students that academic degrees are very valuable and can lead to career success and prosperity.

Solange Guberman, former Justice of the Peace with the Ontario Court of Justice, provided judiciary decisions for the citizens of Ontario for nearly six years. At present, Solange Guberman is committed to giving back to the community. Her first instinct was to support the Centre espoir Sophie.

Located in Ottawa, the Centre espoir Sophie furnishes a wide range of programs and services for women. The programs offered by the Centre are designed to give struggling women emotional and practical support and encompass such staple needs as shower facilities, outreach services, and meal programs. The Centre hopes that its services will help women temporarily leave the streets and receive rest and support in a safe environment that allows them to maintain their health and dignity.

The women that the Centre helps are confronted by challenges and exclusion. Women who suffer from violence, health difficulties, homelessness, poverty, and unemployment may turn to the Centre espoir Sophie to assist in their current struggles and future goals. The Centre teaches women about their own strengths and empowers them to continue beyond their difficulties. Through the continued support of the community and volunteers, the Centre espoir Sophie is able to assist and advocate for struggling women.
