Discrimination

Discrimination can occur at various places, in various forms. Discrimination can negatively affect a person’s rights to employment, housing, loans, business, voting, government services, medical services, education and other public services.

Discrimination is the unlawful and intentional act of unfair treatment of a person based on age, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, physical or mental disability, or other attributes. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) states that reports of pregnancy discrimination and religious discrimination are increasing in volume.

The U.S. government has put into place several laws protecting citizens from discrimination. If you feel your rights have been violated, click on one of the links below to submit your case.
