Matthew Cutler: Foresights for Human Rights

Matthew Cutler: Foresights for Human Rights

The Canadian Museum for Human Rights recently released a survey called Foresights for Human Rights. This national survey offers numerous and interesting insights into the human rights landscape of Canada.

Matthew Cutler, my guest on this episode of Humans, on Rights and the vice-president of exhibitions at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights talks about how respondents felt less free to express their views and have honest conversations in many places, including education institutions. Cutler shares that the CMHR has some thinking to do about how we maintain trust and how the Museum invites Canadians into those conversations in a way where they feel safe to say what they think without fear of shame or retribution to their ideas. Although there is more research needed, Matthew Cutler said he found comfort that the results of the Foresights for Human Rights survey provided a real sense that a vast majority of Canadians believe we have a responsibility to take care of each other.
