The Newfoundland and Labrador Human Rights Commission is a free service that is available to people in Newfoundland and Labrador. Our office does two main things:

Protect Human Rights

If you feel you have been discriminated against or harassed, fill out an online form. We meet weekly to review requests for support. Due to the high volume of requests, it may take some time for a response. Nothing will happen with your inquiry until we contact you.

Unfortunately, we are not able to help in all cases. This doesn’t mean that what happened to you is not important. It just means that the Human Rights Act limits the types of complaints we can deal with.

Promote Human Rights

We promote human rights in the province by:

  • providing human rights information to people, businesses and community organizations
  • giving presentations and human rights training
  • speaking out about issues within our mandate
  • working with community partners
