    "Human Rights 101 discusses:

    • What you should know about human rights and discrimination.
    • Your rights and responsibilities under the Ontario Human Rights Code.
    • How to apply the Ontario Human Rights Code.

    For human rights concerns, the Human Rights Legal Support Centre, a community legal clinic or a lawyer may be able to help you with your application and/or provide legal advice.

    Partnerships and community input are key in helping inform and educate the public about human rights. The contents and structure of Human Rights 101 are guided by input from many organizations and individuals who responded to the Commission's eLearning assessment over the summer of 2009.
