Each year on December 10, we celebrate the adoption of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a ground-breaking document recognizing that “all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.”
73 years later, the fight for human rights is far from over, and Canada continues to fall short. Indigenous, Black, racialized, LGBTQ2+ communities, women, gender-diverse people, and people with disabilities continue to experience human rights violations.
