Since October 2022, the John Humphrey Centre for Peace and Human Rights (JHC) has undertaken research to identify barriers experienced by people using the human rights complaint mechanism before the Alberta Human Rights Commission, and create recommendations to address those barriers.

In the framework of the commemoration the National Victims and Survivors of Crime Week 2023 (NVSCW), JHC wants to share the preliminary results from this research with the intention of deepening the learnings and starting the creation of recommendations to address those issues.

Please join us for a virtual event to be hosted on Friday, June 16th, 2023 from 10 am to 3 pm MST. The day will start with a brief presentation of the emerging topics and we will rapidly move into a series of moderated smaller breakouts that ensure all your voices and thoughts are captured. The learnings from this event will be incorporated in the report and will be released in August 2023

This research project has been supported by the Canadian Bar Association, Alberta Law Foundation and Justice Canada through National Victims and Survivors of Crime Week. The research team includes academics from the University of Alberta and members of Canadians for A Civil Society.
