When activist, teacher and writer Rosemary Ganley learned she was heading to the Women Deliver conference in Vancouver next week, she decided to add a visual statement to her traveling wardrobe and had a handmaid's uniform made.

Women have begun wearing the robes and bonnets, taken from the hit television series "The Handmaid's Tale," based on Margaret Atwood's novel, to highlight the struggles women still face in a male-dominated society.

The conference, which runs June 3-6, will also include speakers like Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, Sahle-Work Zewde, Tina Tchen, Julie Gichuru and Ziaudden Yousafzai.

Ganley writes a weekly column for the Examiner.
