Background[edit]
Noa Mendelsohn Aviv studied law at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and was called to the Israeli Bar in 1998.[1][2]

Work[edit]
Police carding[edit]
In April 2013, Noa Mendelsohn Aviv was consulted by the Toronto Police Services Board on the carding policy, an intelligence gathering policy involving the stopping, questioning, and documenting of individuals when no particular offence is being investigated.[7] She recommended the board to stop random street checks.[8] At the end of the consultation process the Toronto Police Services Board did not entirely drop the practice but introduced changes, including a maximum information retention period of 7 years.[9]
Transgender rights[edit]
In October 2014, Noa Mendelsohn Aviv was invited as a witness[10] by the Canadian Senate to discuss the Act to amend the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Criminal Code. Her statement was in favor of the bill and she urged the Senators to add gender identity to the list of prohibited grounds of discrimination.[11] The bill was introduced on 17 May 2016[12] and came into force on 19 June 2017.[13][14]
