Youth have a new, interactive tool to facilitate learning and engage in dialogue about human rights issues affecting Canadians.
The interactive youth website was developed in commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the signing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The tool targeting Canadians between 18-35, was developed by the Canadian Association of Statutory Human Rights Agencies (CASHRA), in collaboration with TakingITGlobal and the John Humphrey Centre for Peace and Human Rights.
"The ideal of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a light for all people," CASHRA President Mary Pat Short said. "Human rights activists are the sparks that keep the torch of that ideal burning. How brightly that light burns in the future depends on today's youth, their talent, creativity, intelligence and optimism. It is our hope that this website will feed the flames of their knowledge, passion and commitment, and they will carry the torch of human rights courageously and help make the world a better place for all people."
"Human rights has found a footing at the international level in today's popular culture," Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission Acting Chief Commissioner John C. Hill said. "It is our hope that the 60th anniversary of the UDHR and this website will provide the opportunity for the youth of Saskatchewan to learn more about what the Universal Declaration of Human Rights stands for and what protections they have under The Saskatchewan Human Rights Code."
In addition to information about human rights issues and legislative frameworks enforcing human rights, the website includes tips for youth about how to get involved in promoting and protecting human rights. Interactive features can also be accessed on the site, including: discussion boards, an online art gallery and calls to action.
CASHRA is the national association of Canada's government agencies charged with administering federal, provincial, and territorial human rights legislation. As a member of the working group leading the project, the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission played an active role in the website's development.
