Indigenous Human Rights

Gladys Radek: She was followed by a mall security guard. Then she proved systemic discrimination


Listen Later

In our third episode, we speak with Gladys Radek, a long-time advocate for Indigenous women and girls. In 2001, Gladys was grabbing a coffee at a mall when a security guard demanded to know where she was going. Gladys filed a complaint with the BC Human Rights Tribunal and the Tribunal agreed that Gladys' treatment was part of a larger pattern of systemic discrimination at the mall. In our far-reaching conversation, we talk to Gladys about standing up for human rights.  "If you see racism happening, don't let it happen."

Discussed: women and girls, systemic discrimination, human rights, racism, residential schools, foster care system, genocide, cultural pride.
