International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination

In celebration of the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, VIHRC’s Pamphinette Buisa leads a panel discussion on standing up against racism. Through an insightful and lively conversation centered on youth experiences, panel members share their strategies for combating discrimination and discuss the complexities of allyship. Panel members include Rayn Cook Thomas, Salma Arale, and Nakisa Levale.

We would like to acknowledge that the lands on which the Vancouver Island Human Rights Coalition office is located, are the traditional territorial lands of the Lkwungen peoples (Songhees and Esquimalt First Nations). We thank the Lkwungen peoples for allowing us to work and assist those in need, on their lands.
