Anti-Black racism, sexism and systemic discrimination in the Canadian Human Rights Commission : report of the Standing Senate Committee on Human Rights / the Honourable Salma Ataullahjan, chair ; the Honourable...: YC32-0/441-7E-PDF

"This report reveals the findings of the Senate Committee on Human Rights' study on anti-Black racism, sexism and systemic discrimination in the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC). The committee's study was prompted by a set of grievances filed against the independent commission about its treatment of Black and racialized employees, which raised serious concerns about its decision-making processes when dealing with human rights complaints. Witnesses described a toxic culture at the commission and provided specific evidence of systemic discrimination. Their testimony, as well as written submissions to the committee, demonstrated a crisis of confidence in the federal human rights system and underscored that no institution is immune from systemic racism. This report makes 11 recommendations to immediately address the problems at CHRC and to meaningfully confront the broader issue of systemic racism across the federal public service"--Provided by publisher.
