The committee is committed to pursuing social justice issues from a union perspective in this community. To this end, it recognizes that affirmative action to correct historical injustices is not only heartily endorsed and embraced but must be understood by all. Further, sexism in any form will not be tolerated. While the primary focus of the committee’s activities may be on men and issues particular to men, meetings are open to all. The committee will assist men to understand their issues and to find the support they need in times of crisis and distress and provide education to Alliance members and the general public on issues facing men in a changing society. 1, record 1, English, - The%20Men%26rsquo%3Bs%20Action%20Support%20Committee

Le comité entend approfondir, d'un point de vue syndical, des questions de justice sociale dans la collectivité. À cette fin, il reconnaît que l'action positive visant à réparer des injustices historiques est un principe qu'il ne suffit pas de défendre sans réserve, mais qu'il faut aussi amener tout le monde à comprendre. Par ailleurs, quelle que soit la forme sous laquelle il se présente, le sexisme ne sera pas toléré. Même si les travaux du comité porteront principalement sur les hommes et les problèmes qui leur sont propres, les réunions sont ouvertes aux hommes et aux femmes. Le comité aidera les hommes à comprendre la source de leurs difficultés et à trouver le soutien dont ils ont besoin en période de crise et de détresse et offrira en outre de la formation aux membres de l'Alliance et à la population en général sur les problèmes auxquels sont confrontés les hommes dans une société en évolution. 1, record 1, French, - Le%20comit%C3%A9%20de%20soutien%20%C3%A0%20l%27action%20des%20hommes
