About RightsFocus Canada
Independent, non-partisan public-interest analysis.

RightsFocus Canada is an independent, non-partisan public-interest platform examining human rights, accountability, and the real-world impact of laws and policies on people living in Canada.

The platform focuses on issues where rights are most vulnerable — including Indigenous rights, immigration and refugee protections, LGBTQ+ and equity rights, seniors’ rights, workplace harm, and institutional accountability.

RightsFocus Canada is concerned not only with what laws and policies say, but how they operate in practice — where safeguards succeed, where they fail, and how responsibility is applied or avoided within institutions.

Focus areas

RightsFocus Canada examines a range of interconnected issues, including:

  • Indigenous rights and treaty obligations

  • Immigration and refugee protections

  • LGBTQ+ and equity rights

  • Seniors’ rights and long-term care

  • Workplace harm, retaliation, and institutional silence

  • Accountability and oversight in public institutions
