YOUTH AWARENESS
According to a survey conducted in Toronto; in November 2021 by the Canadian Race Relations. The results show that discrimination and mistreatment because of one’s race is a common experience, with at least one in five Canadians reporting being a victim. The report indicates that the percentage of people who feel discriminated against stands at Blacks (57%) or First Nationals (45%), South Asian (48%), Chinese (40%), and East or Southeast Asian (40%). Metis (36%) or those with other racial identities other than those listed add up to (35%). It should, however be noted that the rates have increased considerably following the Covid pandemic, which also triggered more racism target on Asians. Against this background, we realize that without addressing racism, communities cannot move from dialogue to a place of innovative policymaking and constructive change toward racial equity. Racism remains one of the forces that fuels other forms of oppression, such as sexism, homophobia, ethnocentrism and classism.
To address the problems highlighted above, AHMI is focus on helping individuals and communities understand and be equipped with tools to address the multiple forms of racism, how they connect to each other and the differential effects.
