Equal Employment Opportunity Commission

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is a U.S. federal agency responsible for enforcing laws against workplace discrimination. Established in 1965, it ensures that employees are treated fairly based on characteristics such as race, gender, age, religion, and disability. The EEOC investigates complaints, facilitates resolutions, and may file lawsuits against employers that violate equal employment laws. Its mission is to promote equality and prevent discrimination in the workplace, helping to create a fair environment for all workers.
