The Equality and Human Rights Commission is Great Britain’s national equality body and has been awarded an ‘A’ status as a National Human Rights Institution (NHRI) by the United Nations. Their job is to help make Britain fairer. They do this by safeguarding and enforcing the laws that protect people’s rights to fairness, dignity and respect. Investigations undertaken by Claire Prosho of Steph's Place UK have revealed, via Freedom of Information requests, some very disturbing revelations which suggest the EHRC is unfit for purpose. Vice World News senior reporter Ben Hunte has also been investigating these same issues and has published 4 articles to date: https://www.vice.com/en/contributor/ben-hunte (Ben Hunte - VICE) We discuss the topic of the EHRC investigation, and mainstream British Media’s lack of response, with our special guests Claire Prosho and Jane Fae.
