The Carleton Human Rights Society is an academic society associated with the Human Rights Program at Carleton University. We are concerned with raising awareness of human rights violations and fighting global injustice. We are completely student driven, and take up the issues that concern our members around the globe!

​

Our main goals are to raise awareness and funds, to become active in the human rights field and to invest time and support towards Human Rights and Social Justice students during their time at Carleton, sharing useful tools and events.

​

The organization shall work towards facilitating academic, social and professional relationships with Human Rights and Social Justice students as well as members of the Carleton community as a whole.

 

The CUHRS shall strive to carry out its objects without discrimination as between its Members, and in particular on the basis of race, religion, colour, national or ethnic origin, sex, gender, sexual orientation, physical or mental disability, age, or political conviction.

​

This Article shall not be interpreted to preclude any rule, program, or activity that has as its objects the amelioration of conditions that may hinder the full and equal participation of any group in the CUHRS activities or the Human Rights Profession.

 

The CUHRS shall make all reasonable efforts to schedule events, elections and meetings so as to not hinder participation by any religious, cultural, social, or other group to which Members belong.
