What law fights racism in the UK?

There isn't one single 'anti-racism' law. Instead, the UK tackles racism through various pieces of legislation, primarily the Equality Act 2010. This act prohibits discrimination based on protected characteristics, including race, religion, and ethnicity, in areas like employment, education, and services, offering legal recourse for victims.
