Human Rights Commission (UK)

The UK’s Human Rights Commission, formally known as the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), is an independent organization that promotes and protects human rights and equality across England, Scotland, and Wales. Its role includes investigating discrimination, promoting fair treatment, and ensuring laws uphold people's rights. The EHRC works with individuals, organizations, and public authorities to address injustices and foster a more equal society. It does not have the power to change laws but can influence policy and take legal action in cases of rights violations to ensure everyone’s rights are respected and protected.
