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. During the Holocaust's darkest days, Wallenberg's courage and ingenuity saved over 100,000 Hungarian Jews from deportation to Nazi death camps. Every day, our team strives to uphold our namesake’s legacy by breathing life into his values. We remain dedicated to his vision of justice, and we invite you to join our efforts to advance human rights globally with courage, compassion, and resolve. raoulwallenbergcentre.org/en…

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.

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

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
