US Justice Department

The Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice is dedicated to upholding the civil rights of all individuals in the United States by enforcing federal laws that protect against discrimination based on race, color, national origin, disability, sex, religion, familial status, and other constitutional rights. Through enforcement, education, and coordination with other federal agencies, the division works to ensure compliance with civil rights laws and promote a consistent approach to protecting these rights.

Victims of discrimination, hate crimes, or human trafficking can seek assistance from the division, which provides resources and guidance on reporting violations and understanding individual rights. The division addresses a wide range of civil rights issues, including workplace discrimination, housing discrimination, educational access, and voting rights, ensuring that all individuals are treated fairly and justly in various settings.
