Azim Ahmed talks to the Head of Wales for the Equality and Human Rights Commission. Born in Holyhead, Ruth has always had strong attachment to Wales, and has worked at a variety of jobs before taking on her current role since 2017. At the same time, she answered a call to ministry, and is now an ordained priest in the Church in Wales, working in the Garth Ministry Area. At a time when human rights are under unprecedented assault from organisations and governments, and in certain sections of the media, Ruth explains the history and the universality of human rights.
