What Is Human Rights Law?

Human rights law in Canada is rooted in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and provincial/territorial human rights legislation, which prohibit discrimination and protect individuals from violations of their basic rights. These laws cover areas such as:

  • Discrimination: Protection against discrimination based on race, gender, age, sexual orientation, religion, disability, or other protected grounds.
  • Employment Rights: Ensuring fair treatment in the workplace, including equal pay, accommodation of disabilities, and protection from harassment.
  • Housing and Accommodation: Safeguarding individuals from discriminatory practices in housing and access to public services.
  • Access to Services: Ensuring that public services and spaces are accessible and free from bias or exclusion.
