Anti-Discrimination Legislation
Anti-Discrimination Legislation refers to laws designed to prevent discrimination against individuals based on specific characteristics such as race, gender, age, disability, or sexual orientation. These laws aim to promote equality and protect the rights of marginalized groups in various settings, including employment, housing, and education.
In many countries, such as the United States and United Kingdom, anti-discrimination laws are enforced by government agencies that investigate complaints and ensure compliance. Key pieces of legislation include the Civil Rights Act in the U.S. and the Equality Act in the U.K., which provide frameworks for addressing and remedying discriminatory practices.
