We're proud to welcome Kasari Govender, BC's first independent Human Rights Commissioner, to the podcast. In our fascinating discussion, Kasari walks us through the BC Human Rights Commission and its role as an indepenent office of the Legislature. We discuss our rights and obligations as both people and as citizens, and the need to recognize our political and economic rights, as well. Kasari tells us about "The grandmother perspective," her office's 2020 report calling for data that reflects the lived experiences of many, allowing their stories to be heard clearly by those in power to inform development of policy that effectively addresses systemic inequalities in our society. And, we talk with Kasari about UNDRIP and DRIPA, and the role her office plays in decolonization, and Indigenous rights and recognition, in BC. Read "The grandmother perspective," the BC Human Rights Commission's report on the need for disaggregated data to addressed systemic inequalities: https://bchumanrights.ca/publications/datacollection/ Follow Kasari on Twitter @KasariGovender

Her role is to lead the promotion and protection of human rights in British Columbia through the Office of the Human Rights Commissioner. Govender has devoted her life to promoting human rights as a lawyer and community builder in an effort to create a more equitable and just province.
