Gender-Based Employment Discrimination

Gender-based employment discrimination occurs when individuals are treated unfairly in hiring, promotion, salary, or job conditions based on their gender. This can manifest in various forms, such as women being paid less than men for the same job, men being overlooked for caregiving roles, or biased assumptions about abilities tied to gender. Such discrimination hinders workplace equality and can affect morale and productivity. Laws and regulations exist to protect against these practices, promoting a fair and inclusive work environment for all genders.
