Canadian Association For Equality
The Canadian Association For Equality (CAFE) is a social equality rights advocacy organization based in Toronto. It formed in 2011.

History
CAFE began hosting a series of talks held at the campus of the University of Toronto. Guest speakers for these events included professors, doctors and journalists with specific knowledge on the current state of affairs surrounding a still-unresolved inbalance of gender rights in Canada. Although it's primary mandate is to help ensure all forms of social equality, it rapidly grew into an umbrella groups for the rights of men and boys in particular after a void in this area was uncovered. CAFE now seeks to be the go-to source for men's rights in liasons with all levels of Canadian governments and institutions.

Mandate (taken off the CAFE website)
The Canadian Association for Equality is committed to achieving equality for all Canadians, regardless of sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, family status, race, ethnicity, creed, age or disability.

In particular, we are interested in gender equality, that is on achieving equality for all men, women, girls and boys. While we support all efforts at achieving gender equality, we will work for balance and fairness within this societal project by focusing our limited resources on those areas of gender which are understudied in contemporary culture.

This has led us to a current focus on the status, health and well-being of boys and men, where attention, investment and support for educational and social programs stands at a level that is far from equal to the seriousness of the problem, while also being significantly underdeveloped compared to the resources in other important areas of social improvement.
