MARL’s Youth Leadership in Human Rights Project

The Youth Leadership in Human Rights Project is again underway for the 2010-2011 school year.  Having reached the mid-way point in this years’ program we are happy to report that it is continuing to grow and evolve.  In its first year the program saw three schools participating and last year we had eight schools who participated.  This year after much hype the MARL-Youth leadership is running at full capacity with twelve schools participating.  We are pleased to have attracted several new schools and to have a good overall representation of schools that reflect the various areas and communities in our city.

 

The Human Rights Commitment Award of Manitoba looks to the Arts Community

Do you know someone who deserves recognition for human rights work?  All Manitobans are eligible for the Human Rights Commitment Award of Manitoba, and those less than twenty-five years old can be nominated for the Sybil Shack Human Rights Youth Award.  Every year, for International Human Rights Day, the Manitoba Human Rights Commission, the Canadian Human Rights Commission and the Manitoba Association for Rights and Liberties acknowledge human rights work that has advanced the rights of Manitobans. These annual awards recognize those who have promoted respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms.

Apathy, indifference - enemies of rights and liberties sticky icon

Increasingly, I fear that I am becoming more and more dull witted, sedentary and workaday: passing my time trying my best to succeed at my job and striving, as the sellers of self help slogans would say, to balance my life. All too often, I fail to make time to keep up with the ideas, the news stories and even the court decisions that are informing and shaping civil rights and liberties issues in Canada and the world.
