Welcome to our E-news for Thursday, January 9, 2014!
1) Popular Booklet in a New Edition / Lancement d’une nouvelle édition d’un livret populaire
 When you leave a relationship, what should you expect for child support and spousal support? What questions should you ask if you meet with a lawyer? What documents should you be sure to pack before you leave? What steps can you take to protect your privacy and safety? These are the kinds of questions answered in Moving On: A Practical Guide for Women Leaving a Relationship, published by the PEI Advisory Council on the Status of Women.
“Moving On is our most-requested resource,” says Advisory Council Chairperson Diane Kays. “Over the years, this booklet has helped hundreds of people looking for practical help at a difficult time. When relationships break down, gender inequalities are sometimes more obvious and deeply experienced.
To read the entire release, click News Release .
Copies of Moving On/Aller de l’avant are free of charge and are available as PDF downloads from the Advisory Council on the Status of Women website at http://www.gov.pe.ca/acsw. Printing partners Kwik Kopy donated additional copies of the guide at no cost, and while supplies last, hard copies are available by request from the Council office at 902-368-4510 or info@peistatusofwomen.ca.************
Si vous décidez de mettre fin à une relation, savez-vous à quoi vous attendre en matière de prestation alimentaire pour enfant ou de prestation alimentaire matrimoniale? Quelles questions devriez-vous poser à votre avocat?  Quels documents importants devez-vous apporter? Quelles mesures pouvez-vous prendre pour protéger votre vie privée et votre sécurité? Les réponses à ces questions et à bien d’autres sont expliquées dans Aller de l’avant : Guide pratique à l'intention des femmes qui décident de mettre fin à une relation, un livret produit par le Conseil consultatif sur la situation de la femme de l’Î.-P.-É.
« Ce guide pratique est la ressource la plus populaire offerte par le Conseil, explique Diane Kays, présidente du Conseil consultatif. Au fil des ans, ce livret a aidé des centaines de personnes qui vivent des situations difficiles. Lorsqu’une relation prend fin, les inégalités entre les sexes peuvent parfois avoir des répercussions encore plus profondes. »
On peut se procurer le guide dans l’une ou l’autre des langues en téléchargeant gratuitement le document PDF sur le site Web du Conseil consultatif à http://www.gov.pe.ca/acsw. En outre, Kwik Kopy a imprimé des exemplaires gratis du livret à titre de partenaire d’imprimerie. On peut se procurer une copie papier tant qu’il y en aura en téléphonant au 902-368-4510 ou en faisant parvenir un courriel à info@peistatusofwomen.ca.
2) Inspiring Documentary Pays Tribute to Doris Anderson
This weekend, CBC Radio's *The Sunday Edition* is airing a documentary by Alisa Siegel you won't want to miss. "Daughters and Sons" is about a group of wonderful young theatre students at the University of Toronto who decided to write and perform a play based on Doris Anderson's memoir, "Rebel Daughter". If you're feeling in need of a jolt of hope, the young women and men in the play really deliver. It's scheduled for the top of our second hour, just after the 10 a.m. news (10:30 in Nfld.) You'll also be able to listen on our website: http://www.cbc.ca/thesundayedition/. Please share this email with anyone you think would be interested.
3) Share Your EI Experience
 The PEI Coalition for Fair EI encourages individuals, groups, and communities' representatives to make sure the Atlantic Premiers' Panel on changes to Employment Insurance hears the full story of impacts of EI changes. Sign up for presentations and roundtables in Tignish, Summerside, Montague, or Charlottetown. The Atlantic Premiers need to know the effects on individuals, families, and communities from changes to Employment Insurance. Stakeholders and affected organizations will receive invitations to participate in scheduled sessions with representatives from the Advisory Panel within their province to share the impacts they have observed to date. Members of the public or organizations can also request an opportunity to appear before the Advisory Panel sessions. Written submissions will also be accepted by mail or email until January 31, 2014.

Community leaders, researchers, educators and anyone interested in working intersectorally to create change are encouraged to take part.
