As more States pass Anti-DEI legislation businesses are responding with passive aggressive frameworks. So how do you address the barriers of Diversity Equity and Inclusion in a business/social environment if you are prohibited from having open dialogue about what the barriers are.

Upholding human rights as a company involves a commitment to ethical business practices and social responsibility. Some of the steps taken by Vivo Asia this year include Fair Labor Practices, Non-Discrimination and Equal Opportunity and setting up the process for Supply Chain Responsibility. https://lnkd.in/gfdhZzQ5 #vivoasia #engineering #sustainability #humanrights #labour #unglobalcompact

The European Parliament delivers important legislation for infrastructure to protect equality in all EU Member States. This may seem like a small, boring piece of info, but is all the contrary. Seemingly small changes in institutions and regulations eventually transforms the world we live in. Strong words and big gestures are visible, but all the "ants work" in the background is what makes sustainable change happen. #UseYourVote #GenderEquality https://lnkd.in/dKfdFAWF

A Forum of Mayors (30 September – 1 October 2024) entitled “The Cities Summit of the Future” will be held, by UNECE, in Geneva, immediately after the UN Summit of and Pact for the Future, in New York. It is hoped that Mayors of cities, large and small, especially in the session dedicated to transforming global governance, will also take into account the contribution they can make to implementing Universal Periodic Review recommendations.  Indeed, while accepted by the State, some of those recommendations require Cities’ direct involvement to ensure concrete follow up action.  As the UN Human Rights Council has adopted several resolutions on the role of Local Government and Human Rights (most recently HRC res 51/12 in 2022), important specific advice is provided by the Geneva-based Global Cities Hub on these matters, including through a leaflet on the role of Local and Regional Governments in the UPR. https://lnkd.in/dmVJS7z7

Nope. Sorry. No way. THIS CHRC post is astonishing because it has no relation whatsoever to the reality of how they handled my complaints. When I participate in a process- I do NOT consent to be subjected to emotional abuse, misrepresentation. I do not consent to be set up to fail, discriminated against & treated adversely on the grounds of my disclosed disability or vulnerabilities. I experienced all of that in that process but the reports for decision, or the decision explained to me that I can’t complain to anyone about them - they are not allowed to be a respondent. It’s crazy. There’s no appeals process. The false information filled reports they write become “fact” unless we can raise 20k AND find a lawyer to represent us (nearly impossible for former federal unionized employees) AND hope that department of justice administered processes in which department of justice represents the respondent will somehow be fair & allow us some possibility of success. The Commission allows their complaint reviewers to write disinformation filled reports that praise federal management respondents while they withhold reporting parties documentary evidence & misrepresent reporting parties allegations, statements & evidence in the most negative ways. The commission allows their complaint reviewers to produce “reports for decision” that recommend dismissing human rights complaints NOT on the basis of facts & evidence but based on “appearances”. The reviewers are NOT expected to assess the credibility of respondents or witnesses. They are not expected or required to fact check anything the respondents claim or anything they deny, for truthfulness. They do not view evidence that refutes respondents denials & false claims to be “relevant” so they exclude it from their reports. They write reports filled with false information & make flawed decisions that ruin reporting parties lives & they get away with it because unless we have $20K AND can find a lawyer, a person with disabling psychological injuries CAN’T even get the decisions reviewed for fairness AND if we ask for one & lose because of more evidence exclusion & lies, the losing party may ALSO has to pay the other sides costs to add further injury. Your report is NOT telling my story. Parliament should look at my case & talk to me.

https://lnkd.in/duhvcPxd More than what the image suggests, this deal has today been approved in COREPER! We are moving closer to having the first ever detailed and legally binding set of rules for the setting up and operations of #Equalitybodies - all, so that they can better help victims of discrimination and more effectively work for equal societies. Massive thanks to colleagues in the European Commission, the co-rapporteurs of the European Parliament Sirpa Pietikäinen and Marc Angel, the Swedish and Spanish Presidencies of the Council of the EU for their excellent work making this achievement possible. Looking forward to adoption by the Council and EP in the coming months! #standards4equalitybodies #standards #equality #equalityforall Equinet, European Network of Equality Bodies
