She has forged a path through uncharted territory since the late 1990s,” the award citation reads. “Kelly’s expertise and recommendations have been sought out for numerous legal cases and inquests investigating women’s prison conditions, solitary confinement and rights violations, impacting policies with the prison system.”</p> <p>YWCA Toronto also cited Hannah-Moffat’s groundbreaking work on risk algorithms and AI’s potential to reproduce bias, structural inequalities and racial discrimination.</p> <p>She and four other laureates will be celebrated at YWCA Toronto’s Women of Distinction Awards Gala in May.</p> <p>"I hope learning about the YWCA Women of Distinction Award and its recipients motivates at least one more person to reflect on what they can do and what changes they can make to create opportunities for women in all areas of society,"&nbsp;Hannah-Moffat said.</p> <h3><a href="https://www.ywcatoronto.org/womenofdistinction/2024-award-recipients#anchor_Kelly">Read more about the 2024 Women of Distinction awards</a></h3> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">UTC</div> <div class="field field--name-field-top-story-hub-page- field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Top Story (Hub page)</div> <div class="field__item">On</div> </div> Mon, 25 Mar 2024 16:46:21 +0000 rahul.kalvapalle 306872 at οnamed one of Greater Toronto’s Top Employers of 2023   /celebrates/u-t-named-one-greater-toronto-s-top-employers-2023 <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">οnamed one of Greater Toronto’s Top Employers of 2023&nbsp;&nbsp;</span> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-type/community" hreflang="en">Community</a></div> </div> <span class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"><span>lanthierj</span></span> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden"><time datetime="2022-12-13T14:09:07-05:00" title="Tuesday, December 13, 2022 - 14:09" class="datetime">Tue, 12/13/2022 - 14:09</time> </span> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-people field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-people/faculty" hreflang="en">Faculty</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-people/staff" hreflang="en">Staff</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-campus field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-campus/mississauga" hreflang="en">Mississauga</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-campus/st-george" hreflang="en">St. George</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-campus/scarborough" hreflang="en">Scarborough</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/canada-s-top-100-employers" hreflang="en">Canada's Top 100 Employers</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/division-people-strategy" hreflang="en">Division of People Strategy</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-image-orientation field--type-list-string field--label-hidden field__item">landscape</div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>The University of Toronto has been recognized as one of Greater Toronto’s Top Employers for the <a href="https://people.utoronto.ca/news/u-of-t-recognized-as-one-of-greater-torontos-top-employers-for-2022/" target="_blank">17<sup>th</sup> consecutive year</a>.
