Answer

<p> True</p>

Explain

<p> The Equality Act 2010 indeed serves to protects everyone, whoever they may be, in England and Wales from any sort of discrimination. It consolidated previous anti-discrimination legislations (such as the Race Relations Act 1976, Sexual Discrimination Act 1975 and others) into one. The Equality Act 2010 typically addresses the discrimination of an individual or group within a protected characteristic: age, race, religion and belief, gender reassignment, sex, marriage, civil partnership, disability, but more. It covers direct and indirect kind of discrimination, as well as victimization or harassment related to a protected characteristic.</p>
