How are these civil rights protected? |
 |
There are two primary mechanisms for protecting citizens’ civil rights:
(1) Statutes that make certain types of discrimination unlawful, and authorize government agencies to act to prohibit violations of the rights granted in the statute, and
(2) Statutes that allow individuals who have been harmed as a result of prohibited discrimination to sue for money damages or injunctive relief if their civil rights have been violated. |
