Anti-Racism and Anti-Oppression Principles

WRC operates from an anti-racism and anti-oppression perspective. We will monitor commentary on the Blog to ensure a safe, respectful, open dialogue is possible for all parties.

These principles were developed by Dr. Akua Benjamin, and will help us to assess, moderate, edit or delete postings.

• Respect for diversity
• Have a factual, realistic understanding of the group and differences within a group
• Be open and non-judgmental
• Fair and equitable treatment towards all
• Recognize power and privilege
• Process and information must be accessible to all
• Group members commitment to participation.
• Respectful attitude and behaviours towards all, this includes listening
• Behaviours should reflect ethical conduct, that is acting with honesty, flexibility and the willingness to be self reflective, self critical and to learn from others ways of ensuring one's conduct is ethical
• Practice Confidentiality, the basis of this skill is trust & respect. However confidentiality cannot always be maintained and so there must be honesty in sharing what can or cannot be held as confidential
• In addressing oppressive incidents we will identify, act, educate and sanction. This includes oppression based on race, sex, sexual orientation, gender identification, ability, class, age, status, faith, country of origin, record of offences etc.
• Commitment to learning
• Conflict will be addressed directly
