AbstractWith the formation of the Equal Opportunities Commission (EOC), there has been a heightened public concern about discriminatory attitudes in the community. While public awareness of the concept of equal opportunities has improved over the years, individual incidences of discrimination and discriminatory attitudes still abound. This reaffirms the need for the establishment of the EOC and explains the high expectation that the public holds of the EOC. The EOC is a statutory body set up to work towards the elimination of discrimination and promote equality of opportunity with specific reference to gender and disability.
