Mission
Equity, Enforcement, Engagement
The New York State Division of Human Rights is dedicated to eliminating discrimination, remedying injustice, and promoting equal opportunity, access, and dignity.
Our vision is a New York free of discrimination where everyone can fulfill their potential and participate fully in the life of the state.
Each year, the Division of Human Rights investigates, prosecutes, and adjudicates thousands of active cases and reaches millions of New Yorkers across the state with information on their rights and protections.
