Every day, thousands of employees fall victim to gender discrimination in the workplace. Gender discrimination is based upon the unequal treatment of employees on the basis of their gender or sex. This can mean gender identity or biological sex. Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, it is illegal for an employer to refuse, hire, or fire any individual based on their sex. In addition, gender discrimination can include sexual harassment. Though it is illegal, it still happens every day.

Common Forms of Gender Discrimination in the Workplace

While every discrimination case is different, there are a few cases that appear more often than others. The most common forms of gender discrimination in the workplace include:

• Only male employees are promoted and female employees remain in entry-level positions regardless of qualifications
• A person in power tells jokes or makes comments that are offensive to women
• A manager makes it clear through words and or actions that he wants to have sexual relations with a female employee
• Another employee asks a female coworker inappropriate questions about her sexual relationships
• A female employee is touched inappropriately by a coworker or by someone in a power of position

While many of these cases are discrimination against women or those who identify as female, gender discrimination can also occur against men.
