I am glad B.C.'s Premier has issued a statement speaking out against Islamophobia and antisemitism. Unequivocal condemnation of hate from our leaders is important. However, it is beyond time to move from nice words to meaningful action. (3/3)
We have the right to peaceful expression within the law. Peaceful demonstration is essential to democracy. It allows us to speak up against injustice, even when controversial. Conversely, hate is corrosive to democracy.The right to be free from violence is not up for debate.(2/3)
I am deeply concerned about the surging numbers of hate incidents impacting Jewish and Muslim communities here in B.C. and I am calling for immediate and sustained action to address and prevent hate in our communities. See my full statement here: bchumanrights.ca/news/statement…
It's time for the federal government to follow the lead of the eight provinces that have agreed to terminate their CBSA agreements by ending immigration detention in federal prisons and expanding the use of community-based alternatives. #cdnpoli (2/2)
I applaud the B.C. govt for officially ending its agreement with #CBSA to detain immigrants in provincial jails. Per international human rights standards, immigration detention should never be punitive. #bcpoli #humanrights4bc (1/2)
I for one have my sleeves rolled up...and refuse a diversity not inclusive of all. Humbled by this award.
Sneak peek from 45th @DIVERSEcityBC AGM and Awards of Impact. Did I cry when accepting my Community Changemaker award? yes.... Did i share my story of the stress of the past weeks and years as a teacher fighting for anti oppression...yes My message simple,
diversity cannot happen without safety and safety cannot happen without diversity. To obfuscate one community out of fear, makes your community no safer. Neelam Sahota and @KasariGovender BC's Human Rights Commissioner @humanrights4BC not afriad to speak truth.
Tens of thousands of messages of hate they receieved last week, so much of it misinformed people, distortion of fact, and rage farming. YET.... Hope in the work we do everyday, incredible progress in keeping everyone safe.
When engaging with equity-seeking communities, it is vital to review prior research & consultations so that we move the conversation forward instead of asking people to repeat themselves. This will be a great resource for scoping, designing and curating learning materials!

This useful article explains more about SOGI 123: "The guide focuses on addressing discrimination & bullying, creating a supportive & inclusive environment for LGBTQ students, and acknowledging there are people of varying genders & sexual orientations." cbc.ca/news/canada/br…
When we stand together against anti-trans hate, we stand together against all hate. I condemn these rallies for their attempts to erase and marginalize trans and LGBTQ2SAI+ people. In our schools, in our communities and across our province, there is #NoSpaceForHate
In March, my Office released results of our public inquiry into hate, including 12 recommendations to take transformative action. Today I have issued a letter calling on Premier David Eby to show how these recommendations are being urgently implemented. bchumanrights.ca/wp-content/upl…
As BC's Human Rights Commissioner, I am disturbed by news of hate fueled marches planned for Sept. 20. Peaceful demonstration is an important tool to protect democracy and generate debate. But I want to be very clear: the human rights of LGBTQ2SAI+ people are not up for debate.
