Last year as a part of the YFS' commitment to human rights and anti-discrimination we implemented our first ever anti-oppression training to over 800 Frosh Bosses for their respective Orientation Weeks. Anti-oppression training allows students to understand power, privilege, and forms of oppression while defining the diversity of our campus.
Anti-Oppression Training, and working under an anti-oppression framework allows organizations to operate in a fair, equitable and accessible manner. This training also provides participants with skills that can be utilized to identify issues of inequality, inaccessibility and discrimination before they develop into major conflicts and/or disputes for the organization.
Recognizing the success and implications of such training, we have further extended this offer to College Councils and Clubs in order to help elected representatives have a greater understanding of diversity, anti-oppression, and equity in order to serve your membership more efficiently.
