The State of Israel, as a democracy, is obligated to treat every person equally, regardless of religion, nationality, ethnicity, gender, personal status, age, sexual orientation or disability. However, the right to equality is not yet enshrined in law regarding most aspects of life, and prejudice and discrimination still run rampant in Israeli society. ACRI conducts a wide range of educational activities to instill the concept of equality and respect for all people, particularly those belonging to minority groups. Concomitantly, ACRI works intensively through the legal and policy channels to fight against every form of discrimination, whether by state agencies or private bodies.
