Discrimination can take lots of different forms. It can come from anywhere – a work colleague, your boss or from public authorities. There are laws to protect you from discrimination, so if you feel like you are being discriminated against, it is really important that you report it. The main areas where the law protects people from discrimination are:

• Age

• Religion and Belief

• Disability

• Gender

• Race

• Sexual Orientation

The best place to find out more about the law and what to do if you feel like you are being discriminated against, is the Equality and Human Rights Commission website.
