Why the province wants the public's help to define 7 types of discrimination
Definitions sought for terms such as anti-Black racism, ableism and Islamophobia Sep 21, 2022 The Nova Scotia government is developing an equity and anti-racism strategy that it says will be ready by July 2023. (Robert Short/CBC) The provincial government wants the help of Nova Scotians to define seven types of discrimination as it works to create a strategy by 2023 to combat systemic discrimination and racism. Officials are holding virtual sessions over the next several weeks to receive input on defining the following terms: gender and sexuality-based discrimination, ableism, anti-Semitism, anti-Black racism, anti-Asian racism, anti-Indigenous racism, and Islamophobia. "Once we have these defined, we're then able to … move forward in a different way because we both know exactly what it is that we are talking about here, which will then create, I think, more tangible work across government," DeRico Symonds told CBC Radio's Information Morning on Tuesday. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-...ions-1.6590384 |
