The Kentucky Commission on Human Rights is the state government agency that enforces the Kentucky Civil Rights Act and the U.S. Civil Rights Act. These laws make discrimination illegal. The Kentucky Civil Rights Act protects people from discrimination based on the protected classes of race, color, sex, religion, national origin, age, disability, family status, and tobacco-smoking status. These are protected with varying provisions in the areas of employment, public accommodations, housing, and financial transactions.
To ask for help with discrimination, contact the Kentucky Commission on Human Rights at 1.800.292.5566. Visit the website at kchr.ky.gov to learn more about civil rights. From there, access the commission Facebook and Twitter pages where civil rights-related news from a wide variety of media is published, and commission and civil rights partner activities are announced.
