    Gender-based discrimination in the workplace occurs when workers are judged, promoted, or valued based on their gender rather than their merit or abilities. To overcome this discrimination, it must first be recognized that it exists, even though acknowledging it can be uncomfortable. The next steps are to openly discuss instances of gender discrimination by directly confronting offenders when possible or reporting issues to supervisors or human resources. Companies also have a responsibility to address discrimination problems once aware of them.

    Understanding Gender-based

    Discrimination At A Work Place

    Overcoming Gender-based
    Section 6 discrimination in a workplace
    Overcoming Gender-based
    discrimination in a workplace
    • In the workplace, workers should be judged, promoted and valued based on the
    merit of their effort, contribution and ability – not their gender.

    • An important first step in overcoming gender discrimination and inequality is to


    recognize that it's actually happening. Unfortunately, recognizing that gender
    discrimination exists is uncomfortable, and many people would rather remain
    silent or pretend it's not taking place.

    • The second step is to start talking about it. If you feel comfortable confronting
    the offender, then do so.
    • If you don't feel it's appropriate to confront the person doing the discriminating,
    then speak with a trusted supervisor, manager or member of your company’s
    human resource department.
    • Companies have the responsibility to deal with such problems if they are aware of
    it.
    • While we recognize that gender discrimination can happen to both sexes, it is
    predominately a problem that occurs to women.
