Equalities and Human Rights Commission

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is a UK-based public body responsible for promoting and enforcing equality and human rights laws. Established to ensure that everyone is treated fairly and with dignity, the EHRC works to protect individuals from discrimination based on characteristics like race, gender, disability, and age. It also advocates for human rights, helping to ensure that the UK's laws align with international human rights standards. The commission provides guidance, investigates complaints, and can take legal action to uphold rights, aiming to create a fairer society for all.
