Equitas - International Centre for Human Rights Education



For over forty years, Equitas has been at the forefront of efforts to promote human rights education.  Every day, millions of citizens around the world face discrimination, violence and denial of their basic human dignity.  In spite of enormous daily challenges and tremendous odds, many individuals are taking a stand and achieving great change.  We are proud to be an integral part of this.

 

Our public events are designed to highlight the importance of human rights education and keep our friends and supporters informed of the results of our activities.   The cocktail will take place in Toronto on Wednesday, April 4, 2012 from 5:30 – 7:30 pm in the Lambert room on the 54th floor of the TD Centre.  The proceeds from this event will be used to further develop Equitas programming in Canada and overseas and to support our ongoing work.
