For this reason, we declare that we unconditionally recognize the right to equality without discrimination or harassment based on race, colour, gender, religion, cultural background, disability, sexual orientation, pregnancy, class or economic background or any other basis for systemic oppression and prejudice. We also adhere to the values enshrined in the Women’s Global Charter for Humanity, namely the values of equality, freedom, solidarity, justice and peace. We will work to strengthen these values both within our party and within society.All people deserve and have the right to be treated fairly, equally and with dignity. Discrimination, harassment, insults, denigration, authoritarianism, abuse of power, demeaning attitudes, the use of derogatory language, or the exclusion of anyone for reasons that are used to justify any of these abuses are a manifestation of intolerance and are unacceptable in our party.As a sign of our commitment to equality and respect for everyone, our members are invited and encouraged to bring to all of our attention and to correct any behaviour within our party on any level that would contradict this statement and to bring them to the attention of our Diversity Coordinator who is both entrusted and empowered to take all appropriate steps to ensure their rectification.In this way we seek to foster a genuine culture of free expression and openness within the party, a culture in which all people are treated with dignity and respect.
