Welcome to RenéCassin | Refugee Council | Welcome to the Refugee Council. Guardian Equality. Government Equalities Office. Issue We want the UK to be a leader in equality and human rights. At our best, we are defined by our tolerance, freedom and fairness. There is also a strong economic argument for equality. If people are not able to reach their full potential, the economy suffers. We are working toward a fairer society by improving equality and reducing discrimination and disadvantage for all, at work, in public and political life, and in people’s life chances.

Actions We prevent discrimination (including discrimination based on age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation) by: We support and protect the rights of women by: We protect the rights of children by: making sure UK government policies take account of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) We support the rights of British citizens abroad and use our influence to support international equality.
