The Race Relations Act in the UK is legislation designed to prevent discrimination, harassment, and unfair treatment based on race, color, nationality, or ethnic background. It requires public bodies, employers, and service providers to promote equality and challenge racial discrimination. The Act also established the Commission for Racial Equality to oversee and enforce these laws, aiming to create a fairer society where everyone has equal opportunities regardless of their racial or ethnic origins. Its primary goal is to eliminate racial prejudice and promote harmonious coexistence.
