Human Rights Annual Impact Report 2021-22

Commissions Giving Back Last year the Human Rights Commission sought to address issues such as health care, housing disparities, and social inequity, which increased due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Commission on the Status of Women executed a successful Women of Greensboro Survey and will circulate a comprehensive data report from it in 2023. The Ad-hoc Committee on African American Disparity partnered with the Nussbaum Center for Entrepreneurship to host the Black-Owned Business Mix and Mingle, connecting small-business owners to supportive resources. The Transgender Task Force worked to develop training for temporary housing shelter staff to ensure transgender residents receive the care and respect they deserve. The International Advisory Committee also partnered with the YMCA to offer women-only modesty swim sessions to ensure that Muslim women had opportunities to swim.
