Sex-Based Discrimination
Federal employers are prohibited from discriminating against employees or potential employees based on a number of different factors, including race, religion, and gender. The last of these is one of the most common sources of discrimination in the workplace. Unfortunately, some people still ascribe to outdated cultural expectations regarding gender roles, and therefore they may engage in discriminatory behavior directed against employees based on these expectations.
If you have been the victim of sex-based discrimination from a federal employer, you deserve to be compensated for your treatment.

Forms of Sex-Based Discrimination
Discrimination based on an employee’s gender can arise in a number of different ways. Some of the more common forms include:
- Sexual harassment
- Gender-based harassment
- Discriminatory hiring or promotion practices
- Providing unequal pay or benefits based on gender
However, the existence of any one of these factors may not be enough to prove that an employer’s actions were discriminatory. It must be shown, for example, that the discriminatory action was taken specifically because of the employee’s gender, and not because of any other factor. As such, you will want to contact an experienced discrimination attorney to help you make a strong case.
