Addressing Gender Discrimination in the Workplace

Gender discrimination in the workplace involves unfair treatment based on an individual's gender, affecting hiring, promotions, and daily interactions. It encompasses direct discrimination, indirect discrimination, harassment, and wage disparities, which can create a hostile environment and lead to significant harm. Legal protections are in place, including federal laws like Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and state laws in Michigan that prohibit gender discrimination. Understanding these rights and knowing the steps to take if discrimination occurs is essential for employees seeking justice and equality in the workplace.
