Gender discrimination affects hiring, pay, promotions, and workplace interactions, often stemming from biases or unfair practices. It can manifest as unequal pay, biased hiring, harassment, or stereotyping, creating barriers like the "glass ceiling." Legal protections such as Title VII, the Equal Pay Act, and the Pregnancy Discrimination Act safeguard employees, while state laws offer additional coverage. If faced with discrimination, document incidents, report internally, seek support, and consult legal experts to protect your rights and foster workplace equity.
