The Alberta Human Rights Commission, an independent agency with a mandate to promote equality and reduce discrimination, was established under the Alberta Human Rights Act and reports through the Ministry of Justice and Solicitor General.

The mandate is carried out through community projects, public education, and by resolving and settling discrimination complaints through hearings before the Alberta Human Rights Tribunal.
