Event in Buffalo Regarding Discrimination and Housing
The Civil Rights Bureau enforces laws protecting New Yorkers from discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, religion, age, marital status, sexual orientation, or disability. Using state and federal civil rights laws, the Bureau investigates and litigates alleged patterns of unlawful discrimination in a variety of areas, including employment, housing, credit, and places of public accommodation.
The Bureau also includes the Reproductive Rights Unit (RRU), which enforces laws protecting rights to reproductive health care services and facilities. The RRU engages in extensive advocacy and analysis on a broad array of areas, including contraceptive equity in insurance coverage, pregnancy discrimination, and hospital mergers. The Bureau does not investigate or litigate cases on behalf of individuals, but seeks to redress patterns, practices and policies of discrimination that affect a significant number of people.
The Bureau engages in community outreach activities to educate the public about civil rights and reproductive rights issues. If you believe that you are a victim of a pattern or practice of unlawful discrimination, you can alert our office by downloading and completing the Bureau's online complaint form, and returning it by mail.
