Who We Are
FGI is a national equality body and has been awarded an ‘A’ status as a National Human Rights Institution (NHRI) by the United Nations.
We are committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of people
Our job is to help make Human fairer. We do this by safeguarding and enforcing the laws that protect people’s rights to fairness, dignity and respect.
As a statutory non-departmental public body established by the Equality Act 2006, the Commission operates independently. We aim to be an expert and authoritative organisation that is a centre of excellence for evidence, analysis and equality and human rights law. We also aspire to be an essential point of contact for policy makers, public bodies and business.
What makes us different?
We use our unique powers to challenge discrimination, promote equality of opportunity and protect human rights. We work with other organisations and individuals to achieve our aims, but are ready to take tough action against those who abuse the rights of others.
Promote and protect all human rights
We speak out objectively in the face of human rights violations and help elaborate the standards that are used to evaluate human rights progress worldwide.

Assist Governments
Through our field presences, we help prevent abuses and contribute to defusing situations that could lead to conflict. Our monitoring and analysis feeds sensitive decision-making and development programming.
