    Today, on #RaoulWallenberg Commemorative Day, we honour the enduring legacy of Swedish diplomat and hero of the Holocaust Raoul Wallenberg, a hero who refused to be a bystander. We also mark 80 years since his disappearance into the Soviet Gulag- a profound and ongoing injustice.

    Today, on #RaoulWallenbergDay in Canada, we honour the bravery and courage of this man who saved tens of thousands of Jews during the Holocaust. canada.ca/en/canadian-he…
    Canadian postage stamp honouring Raoul Wallenberg. In the foreground is a black and white portrait of Raoul Wallenberg and a group of people carrying luggage. The background shows a protective passport. At the bottom of the stamp, it says: $1.85 Canada, Raoul Wallenberg, 1912-1947?” The Canada wordmark appears in the lower right corner, and the Star of David and the face of Raoul Wallenberg can be seen as a watermark.

Below is a simplified illustration featuring interconnected symbols: a basket of food, a dollar sign, a building, and a globe cradled by hands, surrounded by dotted lines. Three figures represent people standing together at the bottom.

    One critical step is better protections against discrimination based on economic or social disadvantage (social condition). Adding social condition as a ground of discrimination under the Canadian Human Rights Act is an obvious and necessary choice.

    As society evolves, so must human rights protections. Climate change, the pandemic and advances in technology are reshaping human rights in ways we couldn’t imagine a decade ago. These challenges remind us of our shared humanity. Let's act now for a fair future. #HumanRightsDay
    The image features a futuristic cityscape at night, with a gradient of blue and dark gray tones. Above the skyline, a network of icons connected by dotted lines symbolizes digital communication and innovation. These icons include a lightbulb, envelope, gears, speaker, cloud, rocket, and others, surrounding a central globe icon. At the top, bold text reads: "Next Generation of Human Rights."

    Climate change and sustainability are human rights issues. As economic, social, and environmental rights intersect, vulnerable populations in Canada face the greatest impact. The next frontier of human rights is here and now. #HumanRightsDay
