What Are Examples Of Gender Discrimination In The Workplace?

 

Gender discrimination in the workplace refers to any action or behaviour that treats an individual differently based on their gender. This type of discrimination can take many forms and can occur at all levels of an organisation. Some examples of gender discrimination in the workplace include: 

  1. Hiring discrimination: This occurs when an individual is not hired for a job or promotion because of their gender. This could happen when an employer prefers to hire someone of a certain gender over another or when an employer’s selection process is designed to exclude certain genders. 
  2. Pay discrimination: This occurs when an individual is paid less than their colleagues because of their gender. This can happen even when the individual has the same qualifications and experience as their colleagues. 
  3. Sexual harassment: This occurs when an individual is subjected to unwanted sexual advances or behaviour in the workplace. This can include verbal or physical harassment, such as unwanted touching or comments. 
  4. Pregnancy discrimination: This occurs when an individual is treated differently because they are pregnant. This can include not being hired or promoted or being demoted or fired because of their pregnancy. 
  5. Bias in performance evaluations: This occurs when an individual is evaluated differently because of their gender. This can include being held to higher standards, being given lower ratings, or having fewer opportunities for advancement. 
  6. Stereotyping: This occurs when an individual is judged or treated differently because of societal stereotypes about their gender. This can include being assumed to be less capable or less committed to their work because of their gender. 

It is important to note that discrimination can happen to both men and women and can happen to people of all gender identities. Additionally, gender discrimination can occur even if the person committing the discrimination is of the same gender as the individual being discriminated against.
