Equitas, a global leader in human rights education has been making a real and tangible difference in advancing human rights in Canada and around the world since 1967. Our programs aim to transform societies so that violating human rights or standing idly by are no longer tolerated. Human dignity, equality, tolerance, acceptance, understanding and mutual respect are universal values which are helping us to find new paths to peace, social justice and sustainable development. We call this work “building a global culture of human rights”. With training programs in Canada and abroad, we have already provided education and training to more than 2,000 human rights professionals working in the field, empowering them to become more effective in their important work of human rights education, advocacy and monitoring in their home countries.
