The
Division on Civil Rights (Division) is charged
with enforcing the Law
Against Discrimination (LAD) within the State
of New Jersey. Accordingly, the mission of the
Division is the eradication of illegal discrimination
based on race, religion, color, national origin,
handicap, age, nationality, ancestry, marital
status, domestic partnership or civil union status,
familial status, affectional or sexual orientation,
gender identity or expression, and sex, in areas
such as employment, public accommodations, and
housing. The Division serves as a fair and impartial
forum for addressing claims that the LAD has been
violated. Thus, fostering sensitivity, tolerance,
acceptance and respect is at the core of the Division's
work. The Division maintains that if illegal discrimination
negatively affects any one individual in New Jersey,
it negatively affects every individual in New
Jersey. |
