Civil Rights
Civil rights laws were enacted to protect the rights of individuals to receive equal treatment under the law. Certain conduct or actions taken based on prohibited factors including a person's race, sex, age, gender, disability, religion, national origin and in some jurisdictions, sexual orientation, may constitute a violation of civil rights laws when it occurs within the context of education, housing, voting, employment or provision of public accommodation.
