Welcome to the New Jersey
Division on Civil Rights

Fighting discrimination since 1945 . . .
protecting the civil rights of all people.

The Division on Civil Rights (DCR) is part of the New Jersey Department of
Law and Public Safety (L&PS) and is the agency responsible for investigating
discrimination complaints and eradicating illegal discrimination in New
Jersey. See our Mission Statement below.

The Division's work is focused in three major areas: employment, housing and
public accommodation discrimination. The Division also enforces the New
Jersey Family Leave Act. If you are interested in filing a discrimination
complaint, or have any questions concerning the Division's work, please
visit one of our five regional offices, or call (609) 292-4605 for
additional information (TTY User Information). In addition to investigating
discrimination complaints, the Division is also responsible for educating
the public on matters concerning discrimination. The Division's publications
addressing such topics as age, race, sex, disability, pregnancy and marital
status discrimination are available upon request. The Division sponsors free
seminars, workshops and other outreach activities to educate the general
public.
For additional information on the Division's outreach programs, please call
(609) 292-2918. You can also email us with inquiries. We welcome your
comments and suggestions on how we may better serve you.

We've fought discrimination for more than 50 years. New Jersey was the first
state in the nation to investigate civil rights complaints and continues to
be in the forefront of civil rights protection with one of the most
comprehensive anti-discrimination laws in the country.

Our Mission Statement

The Division on Civil Rights (Division) is charged with enforcing the Law
Against Discrimination (LAD) within the State of New Jersey. Accordingly,
the mission of the Division is the eradication of illegal discrimination
based on race, religion, color, national origin, handicap, age, nationality,
ancestry, marital status, familial status, affectional or sexual
orientation, and sex, in areas such as employment, public accommodations,
and housing. The Division serves as a fair and impartial forum for
addressing claims that the LAD has been violated. Thus, fostering
sensitivity, tolerance, acceptance and respect is at the core of the
Division's work. The Division maintains that if illegal discrimination
negatively affects any one individual in New Jersey, it negatively affects
every individual in New Jersey.
