Welcome to the website of the Illinois Department of Human
Rights. I hope that you find it helpful.
Collectively, our Agency has a very clear goal in mind—to make
the Department a fairer, more responsive and more professional organization.
And, most importantly, to treat all those who look to our agency for
assistance with dignity and respect. We are working hard to achieve that goal every
day.
I hope that if you feel you have been discriminated
against or if you are responding to a charge of discrimination, you will
find our office knowledgeable, timely and informative.
Our website includes forms, instructions and links
to numerous other related websites as well as detailed information on
how the discrimination charge process works. In addition, you may
contact one of our offices throughout Illinois:
