Gender discrimination is unequal treatment on the basis of gender/sex.
Gender discrimination is unlawful under California state and federal law. Gender discrimination cases generally require exhausting administrative remedies before the individual can file a lawsuit against the employer.
Discrimination based on gender (or sex) is a common civil rights violation that takes many forms, including sexual harassment, pregnancy discrimination, and unequal pay for women who do the same jobs as men.
Examples of sex and gender discrimination include providing different working conditions, salaries, hiring, promotion, or bonus criteria to individuals of different genders. Discrimination significantly affects transgender, nonbinary, and genderqueer individuals.
