The Equalities and Human Rights Commission

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is an independent organization in the UK that promotes and protects human rights and equality for everyone. Established in 2007, it works to ensure that laws against discrimination are upheld and that individuals have equal opportunities, regardless of factors like race, gender, disability, or age. The EHRC conducts investigations, provides guidance, and supports legal action when needed to tackle inequality and uphold human rights. Its goal is to create a fair society where everyone's rights are respected and protected.
