On this Human Rights Day, we reflected on the critical importance of protecting academic freedom and defending the rights of scholars worldwide. Scholars at Risk 杏吧原创 stands proudly alongside SAR programs across the country, providing refuge, support, and opportunities for those who face persecution simply for their ideas and voices.
We were deeply honored to have this work recognized on Parliament Hill by Yasir Naqvi , MP for Ottawa Centre. His acknowledgment underscores the vital role of safeguarding human rights and academic freedom in Canada and beyond.
However, this mission cannot thrive without federal support. A national commitment to programs like Scholars at Risk is essential to ensure that Canada continues to be a beacon of hope for scholars fleeing persecution.
Our heartfelt thanks to Yasir Naqvi and all our supporters who champion the cause of scholars at risk. Let鈥檚 continue to work together for a world where freedom of thought and expression are upheld as universal rights.
