Canadian Human Rights Act

The Canadian Human Rights Act is a law that protects individuals from discrimination and harassment in federally regulated areas like workplaces, employment, and services. It ensures everyone has equal access to opportunities and is treated fairly regardless of race, gender, age, disability, religion, or other personal characteristics. The Act establishes the Canadian Human Rights Commission, which investigates complaints and promotes equality. Its goal is to create a respectful and inclusive environment for all Canadians, preventing discrimination before it happens and addressing issues when they arise.
