Laws regulating private discrimination typically come from government bodies, such as legislative bodies or regulatory agencies. In many countries, these laws are included in anti-discrimination statutes, which may be enforced by a government agency, such as an equal employment opportunity commission or a human rights commission. The specific laws and regulations may vary depending on the country or jurisdiction, but generally, they aim to prohibit discrimination in areas such as employment, housing, education, and public accommodations based on certain protected characteristics, such as race, gender, religion, and national origin.
