Commission on Equality and Human Rights

The Commission on Equality and Human Rights, now known as the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), is a public body in the UK that promotes equality and fights discrimination. Its role is to ensure everyone is treated fairly regardless of characteristics like race, gender, age, disability, or religion. The EHRC develops policies, enforces laws, and provides guidance to businesses and organizations. It also raises awareness about human rights issues and works to create a fairer society where all individuals have equal opportunities and protection under the law.
