Sexual Discrimination

Sexual discrimination is a type of discrimination that occurs when a person is subjected to bias and/or mistreatment due to his/her gender.  In cases involving sexual discrimination, it is assumed that a person is being subject to maltreatment due to his/her gender, and that the person would be treated differently if he/she were of the opposite gender. 

Like all other forms of discrimination, sexual discrimination should never be tolerated.  This is especially true in the work force and when a person is pursuing educational, housing, or employment opportunities.  Sexual discrimination is an illegal form of prejudice that directly violates a person’s Civil Rights.  

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects individuals against employment discrimination on the basis of sex as well as race, color, national origin, and religion. When a person is subjected to sexual discrimination, his/her Civil Rights will have been violated.  According to the Civil Rights Act, people have the right to be treated fairly and without bias toward their gender.  Every person’s Civil Rights are protected and regulated by the US federal government, which means that people can take legal action if they become victims of sexual discrimination.
