A person who actively seeks to learn about the challenges of a person or group of people experiencing discrimination, and who works in solidarity with them to fight against oppression. 2, record 1, English, - ally
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Being an ally is not simply a matter of identity; it involves taking action. Allies can take action in a variety of ways. They can advocate for the rights of those who experience discrimination or help support their needs. They can also work actively from within social, political or economic structures to challenge and eliminate oppressive policies and practices. 2, record 1, English, - ally
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Ideally, an ally recognizes and understands their own privilege, which they can use to help those they have allied with. An ally can also experience discrimination in one area of their life, even if they have certain privileges in another. For example, an Indigenous man may experience discrimination as an Indigenous person but have certain privileges as a man. An Indigenous man can therefore be an ally to women. Similarly, a gay man can be an ally to trans people. 2, record 1, English, - ally

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 DEF
Personne qui s'engage activement à en apprendre davantage sur les défis auxquels font face une personne ou un groupe de personnes confrontées à de la discrimination et qui travaille de façon solidaire avec celles-ci pour lutter contre toute forme d'oppression. 3, record 1, French, - personne%20alli%C3%A9e
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Être une personne alliée n'est pas simplement une question d'identité; cela implique la prise de mesures concrètes. Une personne alliée peut par exemple défendre les droits ou répondre aux besoins des personnes confrontées à de la discrimination, ou encore travailler activement au sein même des structures sociales, politiques ou économiques pour remettre en question et éliminer les politiques et les pratiques oppressives. 3, record 1, French, - personne%20alli%C3%A9e
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Idéalement, une personne alliée reconnaît et comprend le privilège dont elle bénéficie, et elle peut l'utiliser pour aider les personnes dont elle est une alliée. Une personne alliée peut aussi être confrontée à de la discrimination dans une sphère de sa vie, même si elle bénéficie de certains privilèges dans une autre sphère. Un homme autochtone peut par exemple être confronté à de la discrimination en tant que personne autochtone, mais bénéficier de certains privilèges en tant qu'homme. Ainsi, un homme autochtone peut être un allié auprès des femmes. De même, un homme gai peut être un allié auprès des personnes trans. 3, record 1, French, - personne%20alli%C3%A9e
