The Speak Truth to Power: Youth Defenders for Human Rights series is for Canadian teachers who wish to address issues of human rights in their classrooms. In this booklet, you will find lesson plans and activities, accompanying videos, community defenders, additional resources, and more.
This resource introduces the diversity of gender in Canada and around the world through the story of Fae Johnstone, a Canadian youth activist and champion of 2SLGBTQQIA+ communities. By exploring the diversity of gender within Canadian society (both pre- and post-colonization) and in other cultures, teachers contribute to their students’ awareness of diversity on many levels and to their learning about the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
