civil rights violations

Civil rights violations occur when individuals or groups are unfairly treated or denied equality based on characteristics like race, gender, religion, or national origin. This can include actions such as discrimination in employment, housing, education, or public services, as well as unfair treatment by government or law enforcement. Such violations undermine the principle of equal rights and can harm individuals’ opportunities and dignity. Addressing civil rights violations involves ensuring laws and policies protect everyone’s right to fair treatment and equality under the law.
