Hanne Jensen Fonds
The Hanne Jensen Fonds is a collection of records collected by Jensen between 1983 and 1984, when she played a central role in the Operation Solidarity movement in BC as a defender of human rights.
Access to this collection requires Hanne Jensen’s permission.
Hanne Jensen was the director of the BC Human Rights Branch, and her position was eliminated due to the 1983 provincial budget and related legislation. She became a public figure during British Columbia’s Solidarity movement.
