Protecting Civil Rights: No Discrimination Under Religious Freedom Pretext
This act aims to ensure that religious freedom cannot be used to justify discrimination. It means that laws protecting equality, wages, healthcare, or child protection will take precedence. This will better protect citizens from unequal treatment in various aspects of life.
Key points
Ensures that anti-discrimination laws (e.g., based on race, gender, disability) cannot be ignored under the guise of religious freedom.
Strengthens employees' rights to fair wages, benefits, and safe working conditions, preventing employers from citing religious beliefs to circumvent them.
Guarantees access to healthcare and information about it, without the possibility of denying services for religious reasons.
Protects children from exploitation and child labor, regardless of religious beliefs.
Clarifies that religious freedom disputes can only be brought against the government, not between private parties, limiting the use of this act to harm others.
