Equality rights protect against discrimination by which factors?

• A. Fundamental freedoms
• B. Equality rights
• C. Mobility rights
• D. Legal rights

Answer: (B)

Equality rights are about preventing unfair treatment by the government based on who you are or what you’re like. They ensure everyone has equal protection and equal benefit of the law, no matter factors such as race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age, or disability. That’s why this option best fits the idea of protecting against discrimination.

Other rights listed deal with different protections: fundamental freedoms cover basic liberties like belief and expression, mobility rights are about moving and residing in the country, and legal rights concern fair treatment within the justice system. They don’t focus on guarding against discrimination in the same way equality rights do.
