What is Gender Discrimination?

Gender discrimination occurs when employers exercise bias toward an individual solely on the basis of his or her gender. As with other common forms of discrimination, gender discrimination is prohibited under the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Various laws also exist to protect individuals from more specific forms of gender discrimination, such as sexual harassment and pregnancy discrimination.

The Civil Rights Act is very explicit in its prohibition of all forms of discrimination in the workplace, whether based on gender, race, religion, age or medical conditions. If an employer is biased against a particular employee or treats them differently because of the individual's gender, then that employer is guilty of discrimination. If this occurs, it is the employee's right to file a complaint against his or her employer. He or she may even decide to enter litigation to obtain compensation for the maltreatment he or she received on the job.
