Inclusion, Diversity, Equity & Accessibility
Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility (IDEA) comprise a set of complementary concepts that help guide purposeful action toward addressing systemic, historic and contemporary oppression and inequities across different populations. IDEA is one mechanism that helps to acknowledge and act on the fact that socially marginalizing systems, such as racism, sexism, transphobia and ableism create barriers in society, in workplaces, and within the data systems and research structures that make up HDRN Canada.
IDEA @ HDRN Canada
The IDEA Team strives to benefit people who have been and continue to be systematically excluded from data research and further marginalized by the findings of data outputs. HDRN Canada, acknowledges that socially marginalizing systems, such as racism, sexism, transphobia and ablism create barriers in society, in workplaces, and within data and data research structures. We strive to address inequities through applied actions outlined in the HDRN Canada IDEA Strategy. See the IDEA Definitions and Principles and the IDEA Team Terms of Reference.
