The Centre for Equality Rights in Accommodation (CERA) is the only organization in Canada dedicated to promoting human rights in housing and ending housing discrimination.
CERA carries out this work through public education, research, law reform, human rights casework, test case litigation and using international human rights law and mechanisms.
We also have special consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council.
Below is a wonderful animation about human rights in housing by the Ottawa-based artists and motion designers, Jamie Muntean and Annette Kozlowski. For more of Jamie’s work, go to his webpage. Annette’s website is here.
If you have experienced discrimination related to your housing, call us at 1-800-263-1139 ext. 22. You can also e-mail us at intake@equalityrights.org
