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 somebody unfairly as a result of their sex identification or sexual orientation. There are a number of methods by which a person can be discriminated against:
- Terms of employment
- Benefits
- Training
- Discharges
- Promotions
- Job assignment
- Settlement
- Hiring and firing
Sexual discrimination also includes harassment, which includes any type 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 kind of discrimination or harassment need to be held accountable for their actions.
