Nova Scotia Human Rights Week
Engaging with systemic challenges, difficult topics and the persistent legacies of colonialism and other forms of oppression is challenging work that showcases the potential each of us holds to influence positive change.
In 2023, December 3-10 was proclaimed Nova Scotia Human Rights Week by the Premier. This week was chosen because it contains several important commemorative dates:
- December 3, International Day of Persons with Disabilities
- December 6, National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women
- December 10, International Human Rights Day
These dates are among many opportunities throughout the year for us to reflect on significant human rights issues and commit to action to ensure the inherent dignity of all people is preserved and protected. Nova Scotia Human Rights Weeks seeks to channel this energy to celebrate the power of inclusion, engage across communities and be inspired by the passion and perseverance of our province’s many human rights champions.
