Through the DC Human Rights Act (DCHRA), one of most progressive civil rights laws in the Nation, the District of Columbia has an expansive list of 23 protected traits for those working, living, or visiting DC. These traits include race, sex, age, personal appearance, gender identity or expression, and more - including homeless status and sealed eviction records In addition to the DCHRA, the Office of Human Rights (OHR) enforces local and federal laws for all DC residents, employees, and visitors.

This talk will discuss the OHR agency, how discrimination claims are enforced, with a focus on each of the 23 traits. By the end, you will have an understanding of these traits and the role OHR has in enforcing them.
