Advancing Canada’s approach to tackling hate
The number of reported hate crimes in Canada broke new records in 2020 and 2021—and that’s without taking into account the estimated 80% of hate crimes that go unreported across the country every year. For the past three years, the Canadian Race Relations Foundation (CRRF) has been actively engaged in efforts on multiple fronts to prevent and address hate crimes in Canada.
The Healthcare Divide – Podcast
Universal healthcare is supposed to mean that everyone gets equitable access, treatment and care. But do we really? The Healthcare Divide is a new podcast that exposes uncomfortable truths, troubling realities and innovative efforts to overcome systemic racism in Canada’s healthcare system.
The Coalition Against Anti-Asian Racism Canada
The Coalition Against Anti-Asian Racism Canada (CAAARC) is the first national, pan-Asian coalition in Canada to come together to address anti-Asian racism in Canada. CAAARC bridges Asian Canadian communities across the country, sharing knowledge, providing a platform to amplify existing work and advocate nationally on shared concerns.
#BlockHate campaign highlights the consequences of online hate
With YWCA Canada, we launched a social media campaign called #BlockHate to address concerns around the rise of hate speech and racism online. The campaign features women of colour targeted by online hate through social media who share their experiences.
