Complaints

The NWT Human Rights Commission accepts complaints of discrimination and harassment based on the areas and grounds listed in the NWT Human Rights Act. The complainant is the person who files a complaint. The respondent is the person or agency against whom the complaint is filed. Complaints submitted to the Commission are processed by the Office of the Director of Human Rights. The Commission and the Director do not take sides in the complaint process. The Director also helps resolve complaints through mediation.
