Today is, a day to celebrate the right of everyone to live a full and productive life with dignity. Zero Discrimination Day also reminds us of the need to challenge the prejudices and inequalities that fuel discrimination and exclusion. As consumer advocates, we believe that every consumer deserves fair and equal treatment in the marketplace, regardless of their race, gender, age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, or any other factor. We also believe that every consumer has the right to access quality goods and services, to be informed and educated about their choices and rights, and to seek redress when they are harmed or deceived. That is why we at Consumers Advocacy and Empowerment Foundation (CADEF) work tirelessly to protect and promote consumer rights, to expose and combat unfair and deceptive business practices, and to empower consumers to make informed and responsible decisions. We also collaborate with other organizations and stakeholders to create a more inclusive and sustainable consumer culture. Join us today and every day in our mission to end discrimination and ensure justice for all consumers. Together, we can make a difference and create a better world for everyone. #zerodiscrimination #consumerrights #consumeradvocacy #cadefng #nigeria

As we commemorate Juneteenth, we must reflect on the systemic racial disparities in drug-related arrests. Black people are 3.6 times more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession and account for 24% of drug arrests despite being 13% of the population. These stats highlight the ongoing fight for racial justice and the need for reform. #Juneteenth #RacialJustice #Equality #Reform https://hubs.la/Q02ChPmV0
