Indigenous People and Human Rights
Last year, BC Friendship Centres partnered with the Community Legal Assistance Society (CLAS) BC Human Rights Clinic to increase knowledge of human rights for Indigenous peoples and the services available to Indigenous peoples living in BC to support and uphold their human rights.
The BC Human Rights Code prohibits discrimination in three main areas of daily life: workplaces, tenancies, and access to services (e.g., stores, gyms, hospitals, schools). We can use the BC Human Rights Code to hold people, businesses, and other organizations accountable for discrimination.
