As this unique April comes to an end — a month marked by reminders of both our responsibilities, like tax season, and our rights, like federal voting — we reflect on what it truly means to live in a democracy. In this episode of Lady Justice Talks, we’re joined by Amber King, Social Justice and Advocacy Coordinator at the Women in Law Association (WILA), for a deep conversation about her unique passion towards the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms; what it really is, why it matters, and how it continues to shape the lives of Canadians today.

Co-hosted by WILA First-Year Representative Lucille Milan, we explore everything from freedom of expression and religion to digital privacy and equality. Amber shares what drew her to the Charter, why she believes it should matter to everyone, and how both law students and everyday citizens can better understand the rights we’re granted — and the responsibilities that come with them.

We also reflect on how the Charter adapts to modern challenges and ask: is it flexible enough for today’s world?

This episode is a reminder: knowing your rights —and living them responsibly, is the first step toward protecting them. Let’s break it down, together.
