We believe in the Human Rights principles that all individuals are equal as human beings and by virtue of the inherent dignity and worth of each human person. No one, therefore, should suffer discrimination on the basis of race, color, ethnicity, gender, age, language, sexual orientation, religion, political or other opinion, national, social or geographic origin, disability, property, birth or other status as established by human rights standards.
