Understanding Discrimination Law
Discrimination is a serious issue that affects individuals from all walks of life. In the workplace, it is illegal to discriminate against employees or potential employees based on certain protected characteristics, such as:
- Race or ethnicity
- Gender or sex
- Religion or creed
- Age
- Disability
- National origin
- Sexual orientation
- Gender identity
- Pregnancy status
- And more
If you believe you have been subjected to discrimination based on any of these protected characteristics, it is important to take action promptly. Our team at The Deng Law Firm is here to guide you through the complex legal process and seek fair compensation for the harm you have suffered.
