Spot is an automated chatbot designed to help you document experiences of harassment or discrimination. You may keep your reports for yourself until you decide on a course of action. You may also submit them to the Yukon Human Rights Commission for safekeeping or to ask questions. Spot allows for the creation of confidential documentation of events to back up the memory of the person impacted, describe the incident to others (particularly when filing a complaint), and support a witness statement in an investigation of discrimination. Visit https://yukonhumanrights.ca/spot/ to learn more about how to use Spot.
