We Fight Against Gender Discrimination Nationwide
Gender is a complicated issue for many people across the country. Somewhat less complex than the nature of gender are the ways that companies make decisions based on gender. Gender discrimination causes considerable personal and professional damage, which must be addressed.
At Akeel & Valentine, PLC, our gender discrimination lawyers fight for you. We aim to secure justice for people in Detroit, across Michigan and nationwide in all forms of discrimination cases. We take on uphill battles for people who need help.
Recognizing Gender Discrimination In Your Workplace
The first step to stopping workplace discrimination is to recognize it in action. Many things can be considered “unfair,” but workplaces aren’t required to be totally fair. That being said, there are clear actions that can be related to gender discrimination:
- Being passed up for promotion
- Being given unfavorable assignments
- Lower pay than other employees doing the same work
- Disciplinary actions
- Hostile work environment
Your freedom from discrimination based on gender comes from the original Civil Rights Act of 1964 and its counterpart in Michigan, the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act (ELCRA). The laws expand protections and define the steps people can take to protect themselves against discrimination.
All Gender Discrimination Deserves To Be Fought
At one point, gender discrimination and sex discrimination were considered to be the same thing. However, the laws – especially state-level laws like ELCRA – have come to hold a more complex view of gender identity. Trans and nonbinary individuals, or anyone anywhere on the gender spectrum, should not suffer discrimination.
