[Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights @TheRWCHR]

Today, on #RaoulWallenberg Commemorative Day, we honour the enduring legacy of Swedish diplomat and hero of the Holocaust Raoul Wallenberg, a hero who refused to be a bystander. We also mark 80 years since his disappearance into the Soviet Gulag- a profound and ongoing injustice.

During the Holocaust's darkest days, Wallenberg's courage and ingenuity saved over 100,000 Hungarian Jews from deportation to Nazi death camps.

Every day, our team strives to uphold our namesake’s legacy by breathing life into his values.

We remain dedicated to his vision of justice, and we invite you to join our efforts to advance human rights globally with courage, compassion, and resolve.

Together, we can build a more just and equitable Canada.

[Human Rights Canada @CdnHumanRights]

Human rights are for everyone. This #HumanRightsDay, let’s reflect on the progress made and the work still needed to ensure equality, dignity, and inclusion for all.

[Human Rights Canada @CdnHumanRights]

One critical step is better protections against discrimination based on economic or social disadvantage (social condition). Adding social condition as a ground of discrimination under the Canadian Human Rights Act is an obvious and necessary choice.

As society evolves, so must human rights protections. Climate change, the pandemic and advances in technology are reshaping human rights in ways we couldn’t imagine a decade ago. These challenges remind us of our shared humanity. Let's act now for a fair future.

Climate change and sustainability are human rights issues. As economic, social, and environmental rights intersect, vulnerable populations in Canada face the greatest impact. The next frontier of human rights is here and now.
