International Human Rights Day

December 10 is International Human Rights Day (and the last day of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence). At the heart of human rights lay the principles of equality and equity.

Equality means the state of being equal, and equity adds the element of justice or fairness; it’s possible that “equal” treatment does not produce “equity” when conditions and circumstances are very different.

2SLGBTQIA+ rights are human rights!

Trans rights are human rights!

Two-Spirit and Indigiqueer rights are human rights!

Newcomers’ rights are human rights!

Sex worker rights are human rights!

Human rights are for everybody.
