We are excited that the 4th Simces Rabkin Family Dialogue on Human Rights is about to start. Featuring a panel including @Niigaanwewidam@DrJuneFrancis1@DBPanneton discussing how to move from talk to action to challenge racism @EquitasIntl @CMHR_News
It was so good to hear @HilloryTenute speak today at #EquiTalks today. They reinforced the importance of centring of youth voices, making human rights fun and how we need to ensure that human rights education is at the forefront. @EquitasIntl
Do you want a better future? If so read the recommendations shared by young people from across Canada. It is our responsibility to hear them, make space for them, and act. @JustinTrudeau@ICPNCan#WorldChildrensDay

Il y a 30 ans, le #6décembre1989, nos vies ont changé à jamais quand 14 jeunes femmes ont perdu la leur dans l'attentat antiféministe de #Polytechnique. Gardons-les toujours dans nos coeurs, et faisons en sorte de mettre fin aux violences faites aux filles et aux femmes. #polmtl
The memory is vidid:sitting on a bus with my mom and sister listening to the radio the bus driver was quietly playing. I was trying to understand the #PolytechnicUniversity shooting. How could someone kill them because they were women? Moments like this changed my life #EndVAW
