Understanding Gender Discrimination

Gender discrimination occurs when an individual is treated unfairly in the workplace due to their sex, gender identity, or gender expression. Despite decades of progress, gender-based biases persist in hiring, promotions, compensation, and workplace culture.

Common Examples of Gender Discrimination

• Unequal pay for the same job responsibilities
• Being denied a promotion due to gender
• Hostile or sexually charged work environments
• Stereotyping or biased assumptions based on gender
• Penalties for pregnancy, parental leave, or caregiving roles
• Misgendering or discrimination against LGBTQ+ individuals

Legal Protections Against Gender Discrimination

Federal and state laws prohibit gender discrimination in the workplace. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as well as state-level Human Rights Laws, make it illegal for employers to discriminate based on sex, gender identity, or gender expression.

This includes protection for cisgender, transgender, and non-binary individuals, as well as those impacted by pregnancy or parental responsibilities.
