What Are Civil Rights?
Civil rights are legal protections guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution and federal law. These rights ensure that people are treated fairly and are not discriminated against based on race, gender, religion, or other protected characteristics.
One of the most important civil rights laws is 42 U.S.C. § 1981 (Section 1981). This law allows individuals to take legal action when they are treated worse because of their race when it comes to contracts. Section 1981 claims are a powerful way to seek accountability and protect your rights.
What Are Human Rights?
Human rights are basic freedoms that belong to every person, no matter where they live or who they are. These rights exist from birth and are not granted by any government.
Fundamental Human Rights include:
- The right to life and liberty
- Freedom from slavery, abuse, and torture
- Freedom of speech and expression
- The right to safe working conditions and education
One important area of our human rights practice is dedicated to protecting and fighting against sexual harassment and sexual assault, providing support to survivors of sexual abuse in workplaces, schools, religious organizations, and other settings. Sexual harassment includes unwanted sexual conduct or behavior, while sexual assault involves any sexual act without clear consent. These cases are handled with care, respect, and a commitment to protecting our clients.
When these human rights are violated, victims may face serious physical, emotional, and financial harm. Legal action can help stop the abuse and prevent it from happening to others.
