On this Emancipation Day, we honour the historic moment in 1834 when the Slavery Abolition Act came into effect across the British Empire, marking the beginning of the end of slavery. In 2021, the House of Commons unanimously designated August 1st as an official day of celebration, recognizing its profound significance in our shared history. As we celebrate this day, let us also reflect on the continued journey towards freedom, equity, and justice. Emancipation Day serves as an important reminder of the resilience and strength of those who fought for their liberty and human rights. Let us use this occasion to honor the past and drive positive change for a more inclusive future. #EmancipationDay #History #Freedom #Equality #SocialJustice #HumanRights #Inclusivity #Unity #ChangeMakers #Emancipationmonth

Today marks the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The preamble to the declaration recognizes “the inherent dignity and…the equal and inalienable rights” of everyone. It also stated that “disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind”. These points are the points we can all agree on. They bind us together in one common humanity. These are the bases for our insisting that the inherent dignity and the equal and inalienable rights of LGBTQI persons must be respected and enforced everywhere in the world. #humanrightsday #minoritywatch

Happy #Juneteenth! Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery and marks a crucial moment in the ongoing struggle for civil rights and equality. On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced the emancipation of enslaved African Americans, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation had been issued. Juneteenth also highlights the fundamental connection between emancipation and labor rights. While slavery legally ended, many newly freed individuals faced economic exploitation and continued to struggle for fair wages and decent working conditions. The labor movement has historically fought for these rights, aligning with the broader quest for economic justice and equality. Today's significance lies not only in its historical context as the end of slavery but also in its relevance to the continuing fight for equality, labor rights, and social justice.

National Freedom Day commemorates the emancipation from slavery. On this day in 1865, President Lincoln officially adopted the 13th Amendment, a pivotal moment that abolished slavery in the United States. This historic amendment underscores the principles of equality and freedom for all individuals, leaving an indelible mark on American history. It is essential to recognize the profound impact of this quest for freedom, justice, and equality not only in the United States but also on Canada. The Underground Railroad, a network of secret routes and safe houses, played a crucial role in the escape of enslaved individuals to freedom, with some finding sanctuary in Canada. This shared history highlights the interconnected struggle for human rights and freedom on both sides of the border. In the spirit of our collective journey towards justice and equality, National Freedom Day serves as a poignant reminder. Let's celebrate the richness of diversity that defines each of us, fostering unity in our differences as we work together for a more promising and harmonious future.
