Equitas

Based in Montreal, Equitas is Canada’s oldest and most active human rights education organization. Equitas works for the advancement of equality, social justice and respect for human dignity through transformative education programs.

Equitas works closely with many partners in Canada and around the world, in Burkina Faso, Haiti, Kenya, Tanzania, Senegal and the Middle East and North Africa region. We provide knowledge, skills and tools to support the empowerment of groups that are subject to discrimination, exclusion and other forms of human rights violations, particularly women, children and youth.
