In 1929, white women gained legal recognition as “persons” in Canada, excluded were Black, Racialized and Indigenous women. We remember that rights are never handed to us equally. We recommit to fighting systemic barriers so all persons can live with dignity. #PersonsDay #PETL #ETFO #OntEd #OnLab

Persons Day reminds us that legal recognition is critical, but isn't enough on its own. Laws must be lived realities.
