What does the Louisiana Commission on Human Rights do?

We enforce specific laws pertaining to discrimination in Louisiana. We are here to help people who are discriminated in ways such as the following examples.

Race, Color, or National Origin

It’s against the law, but many times people are discriminated by how they look.

Age

As people get older they might face discrimination based on their age (40 years and older).

Sex or Gender

People sometimes don’t get hired if they’re not the sex someone wants to hire.

Pregnancy (childbirth, and related medical conditions)

Giving birth is already tough enough without being discriminated against.

Religion

People are sometimes discriminated against because of their religion.

Sickle Cell Trait and Genetics

Some people are discriminated against because of medical or genetic reasons.

Disability

Discrimination can happen to people who already have challenging life activities like walking or learning.
