  4. Mission Statement The School of Social Work, York University, is committed to social work education which develops practice strategies for human rights and social justice and thus affirms that personal experiences are embedded in social structures. Through research, curriculum and critical pedagogy the School will: • address oppression and subordination as experienced and mediated through class, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, age and ability; • develop a critical appreciation of the social construction of reality; • promote an understanding of how values and ideologies construct social problems and how they construct responses; • prepare students to be critical practitioners and agents of change.

  5. Gender identity & expression not protected under the Canadian Human Rights Act & Criminal Code or Ontario Human Rights Code • Bill C-276/279 (C-392/2005; C-326/2006; C-494/2007; C-389/2009) • An Act to amend the Canadian Human Rights Act & the Criminal Code (gender identity and gender expression) • Introduction and first reading in the House of Commons, September 2011 • Toby’s Act(Bill 186/2007; Bill 224/2009; Bill 70/2010) • Right to be Free from Discrimination & Harassment because of Gender Identity or Gender Expression • Private members Bill – 4th time introduced into Provincial Parliament by Cheri DiNovo - 1st time that the bill has been cosigned—by all major Ontario political parties, February 2012 • Trans Lobby Group
