Welcome to the Newfoundland and Labrador Human Rights Commission!

Protecting human rights is an important goal for everyone. In the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, the Human Rights Code sets out rules that ensure the protection of individuals from discrimination and harassment.

The Human Rights Commission works hard to ensure that the rules in the Human Rights Code are complied with. The Commission also helps the public gain a better understanding of the importance of protecting all people from violations of their human rights.
