California Sex Discrimination Lawyers
Legal protection from discrimination in the workplace on the basis of gender is an integral feature of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In the words of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, "It is unlawful to discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of his/her sex in regard to hiring, termination, promotion, compensation, job training, or any other term, condition, or privilege of employment . . . . . . based on stereotypes and assumptions about abilities, traits, or the performance of individuals on the basis of sex."
