To discuss human rights in Canada, we invited Shayna Plaut, a critical researcher and instructor in human rights and social justice throughout Canada, the United States, and Europe. Plaut is the current director of the Centre for Social Science Research and Policy. For Plaut, human rights are more than just laws. Human rights are a social fabric, economic structure, and institution enabling individuals to live dignified lives.

In the interview, Plaut explains what Canada should do to stay a global leader in championing human rights.
