who we are

At MARL, we take an education-based approach to addressing the human rights issues in Manitoba and Canada. We are here to have open, honest, and at times, much-needed uncomfortable conversations to continue to bring awareness to human rights challenges in the Province of Manitoba and beyond. Our work involves workshops, community events, educational resources, and much more!
