Show Notes

Welcome to “Advancing justice,” a podcast about human rights, poverty, racism, and the criminal justice system. It is produced by Maytree, a Toronto-based organization exploring solutions to poverty in Canada using a human rights-based approach.

This podcast is part of a series that explores the relationship between human rights, poverty, racism, and the criminal justice system. In each episode, we talk with researchers and practitioners to deepen our understanding of the issues and explore the historical roots of present-day realities, the challenges associated with the lack of race-based data, issues specific to Indigenous communities, lack of access to justice, as well as potential solutions and promising practices.

Find full transcripts of the conversations, other contributions to the series, and links to resources on the Maytree website at maytree.com/what-we-focus-on/advancing-justice/.
