Equal Employment Opportunity Act

The Equal Employment Opportunity Act (EEOA) is a U.S. law that aims to prevent employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. It reinforces the principles of equal opportunity in the workplace, ensuring that all individuals have the right to seek and hold jobs without unfair treatment. The EEOA is enforced by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), which investigates complaints and promotes fair practices in hiring, promotions, and job conditions, helping to create a more inclusive and equitable work environment for everyone.
