Dignity Freedoms Rights Equality Protection

All human beings possess intrinsic rights and freedoms that ensure their protection and development - and all human beings are equal in worth and dignity. These are the opening words of the Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms. The object of the Youth Protection Act is to safeguard similar rights for young people.

However, these ideals are sometimes threatened by discrimination, harassment, exploitation, exclusion and, for children in difficulty, deficiencies in the services to which they are entitled.

The mission of the Commission is to see that human rights are promoted and respected in Québec. This website provides an overview of the current situation and describes the recourses available to people whose rights have been infringed.
