From its beginning, The Salvation Army has been committed to gender equality. And in many ways, we have lived up to this commitment, and our women officers have flourished as ministers and leaders. But in some areas, gender inequity persists and there is more work to be done.

On this episode, Commissioner Lee Graves, territorial commander for Canada and Bermuda, and Lt-Colonel Wanda Vincent, gender equity officer, have an honest conversation about where we’ve succeeded with gender equity and where we’ve missed the mark. And we look at the concrete steps that are being taken to ensure that every officer can fully live out their calling.
