Title VII

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is a U.S. law that prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. This means employers cannot treat employees or job applicants unfairly due to these characteristics. It applies to various aspects of employment, including hiring, firing, promotions, and wages. Title VII also protects individuals from retaliation for reporting discrimination or participating in investigations. The goal is to ensure equal opportunity in the workplace, fostering a fair and inclusive environment for all individuals, regardless of their background.
