Gender Discrimination in the Workplace: Understanding the Issue

Here’s What You Need to Know:

  • What is it? Gender discrimination involves any workplace treatment that disadvantages a person because of their gender or sex.
  • How does it show up? This could be through pay gaps, skewed hiring practices, or unequal growth opportunities.
  • What’s the law say? Both federal and state laws, like Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, offer protections against this kind of discrimination.

Spotting the Signs of Gender Discrimination

Ever feel like you’re being treated differently at work because of your gender? You’re not alone. Here are some red flags:

  • Getting paid less than colleagues in similar roles.
  • Missing out on key projects or promotions.
  • Not receiving support from leaders that your counterparts get.

If you suspect discrimination, it’s important to act. Here’s how to start:

  1. Document everything: Keep detailed records of incidents that felt discriminatory.
  2. Know where to report: Understand the procedures in your workplace for making a complaint, or consider legal routes.
