What Constitutes Sex Discrimination?

In order to have a case for gender discrimination, the issue at hand must involve different treatment that negatively affects the terms or conditions of employment. This includes things such as employment status, job position, work duties, work schedule, pay rate or salary, and advancement and training opportunities.

A derivative of sex discrimination is sexual harassment. All genders have the right to a safe working environment and are able to perform their jobs free of unwanted demands for romantic or sexual relationships, or unwanted behaviors and communications of a sexual nature that interview with their ability to do their work.

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 offers protections against gender discrimination in employment. Employers are not allowed “to fail or refuse to hire or to discharge any individual, or otherwise to discriminate against any individual with respect to his [or her] compensation, terms, or privileges of employment, because of such individual…sex” and “to limit, segregate, or classify employees or applicants for employment in any way which would deprive or tend to deprive any individual of employment opportunities or otherwise affect [the individual's] status as an employee, because of such individual's...sex….” Additionally, Title VII protects individuals from gender discrimination in apprenticeship and on-the-job programs, retaliation for opposing a discriminatory employment practice, and sexually laced advertisements for job positions.
