People across Ontario are making important contributions to advance human rights and equity, many of which go unacknowledged. Each of our collective successes have started with a single step, by someone who had an idea for how to make Ontario a better place to live. And each collective success in the future will also rely on individual vision, advocacy and imagination.
Mounting evidence shows that groups identified under Ontario’s Human Rights Code have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic. These effects are being exacerbated by the current Omicron wave and the recent decisions to close and reopen schools.
De plus en plus de données démontrent que les groupes protégés par le Code des droits de la personne de l’Ontario sont disproportionnellement touchés par la pandémie. Ces répercussions sont exacerbées par la vague actuelle d’infections provoquées par le variant Omicron et les décisions récentes de fermer et de rouvrir les écoles.
L’année 2021 a été une année de reprise, de défis pour les droits de la personne et d’adaptation à une nouvelle réalité. Toute l’année, la Commission ontarienne des droits de la personne a œuvré sans relâche à l’élimination des inégalités et de la discrimination et du racisme systémiques en prônant des mesures fondées sur le Code des droits de la personne de l’Ontario. Alors que nos efforts se poursuivent, nous vous invitons à vous connaître les points saillants du travail de la CODP pendant 2021.
Since 1992, the world has been commemorating December 3 as International Day of Persons with Disabilities. While we annually observe this day to promote the human rights of people with disabilities, we need to work daily on resolving the systemic inequities they experience.
