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

‍Sexual discrimination is not always easy to determine and even more difficult to prove. 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 number of methods by which an individual 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. Unfortunately, a lot of men and women do not report sex-related discrimination when it occurs. Nevertheless, those that commit this type of discrimination or harassment need to be held accountable for their actions.‍

‍Hiring and Firing
