How to Spot Gender Discrimination
Unfortunately, many people are victims of gender discrimination and do
not even realize it. Although in some cases gender discrimination is blatantly
obvious, most often these violations occur in more subtle ways and behind
closed doors.
There are several indications that your employer is engaging in gender
discrimination, including:
- Your employer has excluded you from important meetings where only one gender
is present
- Your employer offers promotions primarily to those of one particular gender
- Your employer suggests that you wear revealing clothing for a client of
the opposite sex
- Your employer distinguishes between males and females by making them take
on different duties
- Your employer has fired you for expressing a change in your gender identity
- Your employer has not taken reports of sex discrimination seriously
- Your employer pays you less for performing the same job as someone of the
opposite sex
- Your employer provides you with less support than a coworker of another gender
- Your employer gives you fewer or less important assignments than your coworker
of another gender
- Your employer treats you as less competent than other workers because of gender
