Legal Protections at Work

Gender Discrimination Violates State and Federal Law

In California, it is unlawful for an employer to treat an employee unfairly because of their sex, gender, gender identity, or gender expression. Protections come from the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.

Examples of gender discrimination include:

  • Unequal pay for equal work 
  • Denial of promotions or leadership roles 
  • Favoritism toward male or female employees 
  • Sexist comments or stereotyping 
  • Disciplinary action tied to gender expectations 
  • Exclusion from meetings or decision-making 

This type of discrimination can affect all genders. Whether you’re a woman repeatedly passed over for advancement, a nonbinary employee harassed for how you express yourself, or a man denied paternity leave, the law protects you.

Employee Lawyers helps workers understand their rights, gather evidence, and file claims against employers who violate gender equity laws.
