How Is Gender Discrimination Defined In California?

Gender discrimination occurs when someone is treated unequally or differently because of their gender, gender expression, or gender identity. This may include actions like unequal pay, harassment, denial of a promotion, or biased treatment in both hiring and workplace policies.

California law (which includes the Fair Employment and Housing Act) prohibits discrimination based on gender in a variety of environments, including employment, housing, and public accommodations. What’s more, the law protects victims of retaliation for their opposition to discriminatory practices or participating in investigations.

These broad protections ensure that men, women, non-binary, and transgender people are safeguarded against discrimination – promoting fairness and equality across all workplaces.

What Legal Options Do Victims Of Gender Discrimination Have?

If you were the victim of gender discrimination, you likely have several legal options to pursue. You may file a complaint with the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH), a governmental agency that enforces anti-discrimination laws. If the DFEH sees a valid gender discrimination case, they may pursue a settlement or bring a lawsuit against the perpetrator on behalf of the victim.

Alternatively, you may file a gender discrimination claim directly in civil court, seeking restitution like back pay, damages, reinstatement, and legal fees. Mediation or arbitration are also viable alternatives to lawsuits. By speaking directly to a qualified legal professional, you will have access to the knowledge to make the most beneficial decisions available for your unique situation.
