December 10: Human Rights Day

All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. Human Rights Day is recognized each year on December 10th, the anniversary of the day the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). The UDHR is like a roadmap for the world, to achieve equality and freedom.  

The OCDSB has its own Indigenous, equity and human rights roadmap that we use to guide us to be better, do better, and create more inclusive working and learning spaces where everyone is treated with dignity and feels belonging. Guided by this roadmap, here is how we are taking action to promote and protect the human rights of our students, staff members, and families:

We all have a responsibility to promote and protect human rights in our schools, workplaces, and communities. This can be achieved through our effort to create cultures of acceptance and belonging and to stand up against words and actions that are hateful, racist, threatening, or aggressive.
