Los Angeles Gender Discrimination Lawyer
Fight Back Against Gender Discrimination
It is illegal for an employer to discriminate against an employee or prospective employee because of his or her sex or gender. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as well as California state law, protects employees against discrimination on the basis of factors such as race, ethnicity, age, religion and age. This discrimination includes hiring, termination, promotion, compensation and any other condition of employment.

Gender Discrimination in Southern California
Each year, there are almost 25,000 charges of sex-based discrimination reported to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. While civil rights legislation passed in the 1960s attempted to change, and has improved, incidences of gender discrimination in the workplace, there are still a significant number of instances of gender discrimination at places of employment in California and around the United States.
It is also illegal for an employer to retaliate against an employee who opposes sex-based discrimination in the workplace or who has filed a charge of discrimination. Retaliation and wrongful termination will subject the employer to greater liability.
By consulting with an experienced lawyer about your case of gender discrimination, you can discover the remedies that you have available to you and the rights that you are provided by federal and state employment laws. An attorney can also help you obtain compensation for any damages caused by gender discrimination.
