 Imagine for a second you're born with purple hair. If someone refused to sell you ice cream because of the color of your hair, they'd be violating your human rights. Everyone has the right to live free from discrimination. It's a fundamental human right. BC has a human rights tribunal, which is like a court of law that focuses on violations like this. So why do we also need a human rights commission? The role of a commission is to make sure the ice cream seller knows they can't refuse to serve you ice cream based on the color of your hair or the color of your skin, what language you speak, your gender expression, whether you have a disability or whether or not you have a place to sleep at night or anything about you. And it's not just about ice cream. It can be about whether you get a job, a promotion, a place to rent, you name it. A commission will make sure people are less likely to violate each other's human rights. The ultimate goal is a society free from discrimination of any kind and it's up to us to make it that way. Have your say on creating the new BC Human Rights Commission.
