Today is #HumanRightsDay!
Human rights have been highlighted throughout the pandemic and on this U.N. day for human rights, we at Barrier-free AB thought we’d take a look at human rights through a disability lens.

[BarrierFreeAB @BarrierFreeAB]

A human right is defined as a right believed to belong justifiably to every person in the world, from birth until death. This includes every person with a disability who has the same right to housing, education, and employment, just like anyone without a disability.

[BarrierFreeAB @BarrierFreeAB]

To protect and ensure these human rights for everyone in Alberta, including people with disabilities, we think it’s time for Alberta to create barrier-free legislation and bring it into law.

[BarrierFreeAB @BarrierFreeAB]

A more accessible and #BarrierFreeAB is needed today! Sign on to day as a supporter and to stay informed as we move this forward at: https://t.co/fWa1L7Y07V

~ Almost 1 million Albertans have a disability
~ 6.2 million Canadians have a disability
~ People with disabilities and the aging population will represent $630 BILLION in spending power in Canada in the next 10 years. (1/4)

Tomorrow is #HumanRightsDay and we know that the Alberta Human Rights Commission reports that discrimination in employment on the grounds of physical and mental disability continued to be the most cited complaints in the 2020-2021 year, making up 50% of complaints. (4/4)
