Civil rights refers to the rights of individuals to receive equal treatment and protection under the law, regardless of their race, gender, religion, or other characteristics. This area of research focuses on studying and advocating for the protection and enforcement of civil rights for all individuals, as guaranteed by laws and constitutions. Researchers in this field may study various aspects of civil rights, including discrimination, social justice, equal access to resources and opportunities, and the impact of policies and practices on marginalized communities. They may also examine historical and contemporary civil rights movements, legal precedents, and the role of government institutions in upholding civil rights. Ultimately, the goal of civil rights research is to promote equality, fairness, and justice for all individuals in society.
