Human rights, living free from discrimination, and fundamental socioeconomic rights go hand in hand. #HousingIsAHumanRight #HumanRightsDay
On #HumanRightsDay, we recognize: The right to live free from discrimination The right to live free from poverty The right to live in dignity #SocioeconomicRights matter – read our statement: bit.ly/4f8zD4t
On #HumanRightsDay: Housing is a fundamental human right. People who are homeless or living in encampments have human rights. Let’s raise our voices for #Right2Housing policy that puts people first and creates equitable access to safe, affordable homes🏡 youtube.com/watch?v=ol3w9A…

Insightful conversation with @CdnFireChiefs on the need for #HumanRights based approaches to homelessness and encampments. Fire chiefs play a vital role, and creating a National Fire Administration can help standardize and coordinate efforts. Let’s build solutions together. 🚒🏠
New data shows that people with disabilities face financial hardship, unsafe housing, and a lack of supports and services at far higher rates than people without disabilities. On #IDPD, Canada must do more. News release with @CdnHumanRights: bit.ly/3Zx2QS5
