United Kingdom Equality and Human Rights Commission

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is an independent organization in the United Kingdom, established to promote and protect equality and human rights for everyone. It ensures that laws against discrimination—based on factors like age, gender, race, disability, and religion—are enforced. The EHRC provides guidance and support to individuals and organizations to help them understand their rights and responsibilities. It also investigates complaints and can take legal action when necessary to uphold human rights standards, contributing to a fairer society where all individuals have equal opportunities and protections.
