How Do I Know If I Have Been Sexually Discriminated Against?

Sexual discrimination is not always easy to identify and even harder to prove. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) defines sex-based discrimination as treating someone unfairly because of their gender identity or sexual orientation. There are several ways in which a person can be discriminated against.

• Terms of employment
• Training
• Promotions
• Compensation
• Benefits
• Layoffs
• Job assignment
• Hiring and firing

Sexual discrimination also includes harassment, which involves any form of unwanted sexual advances, verbal harassment, or requests for sexual favors. Sadly, many people do not report sexual discrimination as it occurs. However, those who commit this form of discrimination or harassment should be held legally accountable for their actions.

An employer may hire or fire you simply because of your sex. Even if you demonstrate that are capable of performing a job, you may be overlooked because of you’re not the ‘right’ sex. If so, you can review your claim to determine how you were discriminated against. You should not be denied employment opportunities on the basis of sex.

Compensation and Benefits

You may have the same job description, same qualifications, and same experience as the next person. However, they receive higher pay or better benefits because they are a different sex. We may be able to establish that your pay is lower because of your sex.

When you are treated unfairly it may be you - not the at-fault party - who pays the consequences.
