Sex and Gender Discrimination

Understanding Sex and Gender Discrimination

Sex and gender discrimination continues to have a substantial presence in many workplace environments in the U.S. despite the progress made since the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. From offices, to shipyards, to assembly lines to the hospitality industry and in virtually every area of business, sex and gender discrimination prevents employees from receiving equal treatment. Individuals treated differently in the workplace because of their gender should seek the services of a skilled New Haven employment discrimination lawyer as soon as possible to begin building a strong case. Documentation is important and can help substantiate a claim against an employer. Keep a record of occurrences, a journal is a practical way to track the incidents and can establish a timeline. If there are any emails, texts, phone messages or other types of supporting evidence be sure to keep those for documenting your case. We urge you to contact our firm to discuss your case, and our concerned legal team can advise you how we can address the issue most effectively and with the least stress for you.

While the majority of sex and gender discrimination cases involve women, men are also equally as susceptible to this type of employment discrimination in any given industry. Victims of sex and gender discrimination typically receive lower wages and bonuses as well as fewer promotions. Some employers may choose not to hire an individual based on gender or may require members of a certain sex to work in a different work environment, one that is often insufficient. These are all common ways in which sex and gender discrimination in the workplace occurs, and every effort to identify, expose and eradicate this practice can help fellow employees.
