🧡It's important to understand that gender-based violence (GBV) is not just a violation of rights, but a denial of dignity, freedom, and equality. GBV robs individuals of their right to life, security, health, justice and in some cases brings about death.
Together, we can protect these rights and end the cycle of violence💜. ngtiu.org#16DaysOfActivism#Equality#StopGBV#EndGBV#HumanRights#Equalityandinclusionawards2024
The Supreme Court has emphasized that judges must exercise caution in their remarks, particularly in the digital age, where such comments can go viral. The Court stressed that casual observations, especially those reflecting bias against any community or gender, should be avoided to maintain public trust in the judiciary. Justice must always be seen as fair and impartial.

Yes, reform is definitely needed. I do really worry about more Conservative governments gaining control in either provincial or federal leadership roles. Alberta has terrible policies that are exceedingly harmful for the LGBT community. I have also notice a large corruption of some of our Indigenous organizations presenting some derogatory attitudes towards the poor- which poverty is a huge issue in our First Nations communities. We need to cut out the rot in these types of organizations that do not use their funding for intended purposes and absorb those funds with a smile and giggle. Or simply call the funds useless-FN youth at risk dollars, healthcare dollars. Then there is the convincing people in impoverished communities that free-healthcare is a bad thing as they pander for Conservative votes. I am serious this is happening. Programs that assist our most impoverished are referred to as useless and "socialists". It is beyond grotesque and seeing these words and sense of entitlement is more than disheartening. #NeverVoteConservative#ConservativesAreLyingToYou#MAGAMapleConservatives#AutocracyConservative

For too long, discrimination in the Canadian government has gone unaddressed. Our coalition of human rights groups is changing that, starting with the Canadian Human Rights Commission.
This institution must be reformed and become a true leader in the fight against systemic discrimination. It not only receives complaints from federal workers but the Canadian public who have a complaint against a federally regulated institution.
The Canadian Government is now on notice. It cannot claim to be a global human rights leader while it discriminates against its own citizens right here at home.
