Racism: Understanding Your Rights and Taking Action

Racism: Understanding Your Rights and Taking ActionThe Greater Shepparton City Council in collaboration with the Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission have come together to run an online information session to educate and empower multicultural and multifaith communities about racism, understanding your rights and taking action on Monday 22nd March 2021.

Victoria’s rich cultural diversity is one of our greatest strengths as a state. Our laws protect you from discrimination and vilification because of your race or your religion. No one should be treated unfairly because of where they come from, how they look or the language they speak. The Commission engages with people from multicultural and multifaith backgrounds to build a greater awareness of human rights and equality.
