African American Women's Rights

-the Canadian Human Rights law forbids discrimination and many people frown on the idea of discrimination
-Slavery is illegal and there is a social stigma on enslaving people
-everyone is welcome in most communities and most individuals don't discriminate because of color, sex, or
