Human Rights Institutions Questions
The Human Rights Commission of Canada, also known as the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC), is an independent government agency responsible for promoting and protecting human rights in Canada. Its role is to administer the Canadian Human Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination based on various grounds such as race, gender, disability, and religion. The commission investigates complaints of discrimination, mediates disputes, and provides education and outreach programs to raise awareness about human rights issues. Additionally, the CHRC works towards the elimination of systemic discrimination and provides recommendations to the government on policies and legislation related to human rights.
