The Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, established in 1957, is dedicated to safeguarding the civil and constitutional rights of all individuals in the United States. With a focus on protecting the most vulnerable members of society, the Division enforces federal laws that prohibit discrimination based on race, color, sex, disability, religion, familial status, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, and citizenship status.
Under the leadership of Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke, the Division works tirelessly to uphold these rights and combat discrimination in various areas of life, including employment, housing, education, and public accommodations. Through its enforcement efforts, the Division aims to ensure equal opportunities and justice for all Americans.
