Anti-Discrimination Statutes

Refugees are protected from discrimination by Commonwealth and federal statutes, including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and 42 U.S.C. § 1981.

In respect to employment, protection is afforded to refugees primarily through the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act and the federal Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986.
