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

Sexual discrimination is not always easy to determine and even more difficult to verify. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) defines sex-based discrimination as treating someone unfairly as a result of their sex identification or sexual orientation. There are a variety of methods by which a person can be discriminated against:

• Terms of work
• Benefits
• Training
• Discharges
• Promotions
• Job assignment
• Settlement
• Hiring and firing

Sexual discrimination also includes harassment, which includes any kind of unwanted sexual contact, verbal harassment, or requests for sex-related favors. Sadly, a lot of men and women do not report sex-related discrimination when it takes place. Regardless, those that commit this kind of discrimination or harassment need to be held accountable for their actions.

It includes asking for sex-related favors or similar conduct, whether the conduct is explicit or suggested. Our legal team works with victims that have experienced any kind of sexual harassment no matter the circumstances.

Hiring and Firing

An employer may work with or fire you just because of your sex. Even if you demonstrate that you can do a job, you may be ignored since you're not the 'ideal' sex. If so, you can assess your case to determine how you were discriminated against. You can not be denied employment opportunities on the basis of sex.

Compensation and Benefits

You might have the same job summary, qualifications, and experience as another person. However, they receive greater pay or better benefits since they are of different sex. We might be able to determine that your pay is reduced due to your sex.

‍Professional Defamation

‍Discrimination can lead to long-lasting damage and can even prevent you from progressing in your profession. You may receive a negative recommendation or be the victim of a false rumor. When you are treated unfairly it could be you-- not the at-fault party-- that suffers the consequences. Nevertheless, due to your sex, your reputation is tainted, making it hard to move forward in your career.

Aggressive Work Environment

Are you being bothered at the workplace? Are you the target of consistent harmful jokes, slurs, or comments? Those that verbally attack you cause awkwardness in the workplace and create a hostile work environment. You do not have to put up with harassment if it impacts your job performance or personal wellbeing.
