Description

Canadian Human Rights Champions recounts the inspiring stories of a select group of advocates who have fought to secure civil, social, and political rights for all Canadians. The book profiles thirty-eight remarkable individuals, delving into their motivations, the challenges they overcame, and the opportunities they seized, while underscoring the crucial importance of defending human rights. It reveals how these champions devoted themselves to an often arduous and challenging struggle, making lasting contributions to building a more just and equitable society in Canada.

Adopting a comprehensive approach, the book focuses on a “basket of rights” drawn from the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, highlighting fundamental freedoms such as the right to association, expression, and equality protections against discrimination based on race, gender, sexual orientation, and disability. It also explores the existing and evolving rights of Indigenous peoples in the context of treaties and international agreements, the Canadian Constitution, reconciliation, as well as the crucial emerging right to a clean environment.

In addition to honouring Canadian heroes, the anthology also highlights those who have championed human rights on the international stage. Canadian Human Rights Champions celebrates the next generation of young activists who are leaving their mark in shaping our collective future and providing hope in these challenging times.
