Definition of Sexual Discrimination

Sexual discrimination is any unfair distinction or exclusion based on a person’s gender or sex, which can be intentional or unintentional. This form of discrimination is a civil rights violation and takes many shapes, from damaging labor practices in the workplace to unequal treatments in educational or housing settings.

It includes, but not limited to: paying different salaries for the same job; sexual harassment; the refusal of specific jobs due to the gender of an individual; limiting access to benefits based on pregnancy status; and restricting access to sports programs or activities because of gender. These discriminatory behaviors are illegal according to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and cannot be tolerated under any situation.


Types of Sexual Discrimination

Sexual discrimination is any unjust or prejudicial treatment of someone due to their gender, sex identity, or sexual orientation. It can manifest itself in a variety of ways, such as discriminatory hiring practices, unequal pay for equal work, unequal access to services and resources, harassment based on one’s gender expression or sexual orientation, and violence infused with the language of sexual prejudice.

All forms of sexual discrimination are unjust and wrong; however, each type of sexual discrimination has its own distinct effects on the lives of those it victimizes. From perception-based issues like teasing and bullying to long-term harms like being denied entry into educational institutions and employment opportunities, the consequences are real and often devastating for those who experience them.

Every person should be able to access all avenues available without fear or apprehension—no person should ever have to accept anything less than egalitarian treatment from a potential employer, co-worker, service provider, peer group, educational institution or another member of society.


Laws Protecting Against Sexual Discrimination

Laws that protect against sexual discrimination are essential to a healthy and equitable society. An individual’s gender should never be a barrier to success, safety or dignity in the workplace or any public setting.

Laws protecting people from discrimination on the basis of gender, sexual orientation or identity ensure equal rights for all, regardless of background. With such laws in place, individuals can pursue their goals free from intimidation and bigotry.

People should be able to take part in societal and economic life without fear for their well-being due to harassment or exclusion based on who they are. Sexual discrimination laws help provide equality and peace of mind for all citizens.

Causes of Sexual Discrimination

Sexual discrimination is a sad truth much of the world faces. Its causes are diverse, ranging from personal biases to systemic oppression. Stereotypes about gender roles and abilities, based on centuries-old ideas of sexism, continue to be perpetuated in many cultures today.

Moreover, outdated laws and social systems in some places can deny women their right to an education or rule out certain career paths for them entirely. Additionally, economic disparities between genders have caused severe difficulties for many women since they are more likely to shoulder financial burdens than their male counterparts due to unequal pay grades.

Toxic social behaviors such as sexual harassment often keep people away from important career opportunities and make it difficult for them to stay in a profession. It is clear that sexual discrimination can have a serious impact on individuals, societies and even entire nations – by preventing them from achieving their full potential in every aspect of life.


Effects of Sexual Discrimination

Sexual discrimination is an issue that inhibits the progress of our society day in and day out. It affects individuals of all ages, races and genders in ways that range from making them feel uncomfortable to stifling their opportunities for advancement and success.

Those who face sexual discrimination are often discriminated against based on their gender identity or expressions of sexuality, which can have far-reaching consequences. Disadvantages such as limited job opportunities and disparities in salaries between genders contribute to economic inequality, while difficulties accessing healthcare services causes health issues to go unaddressed.

This leads to lasting impacts on people’s quality of life and further exacerbates the existing socio-economic power imbalance among those who identify with different sexes. It is therefore essential for us to realize that only with a deep recognition of our diverse experiences can we begin to effectively combat these effects and make progress towards an inclusive future.


Examples of Sexual Discrimination

Examples include paying people less for the same work, limiting access to employment opportunities based on gender identity or sexual orientation, objectifying and demeaning certain genders in advertisements or media, subjecting people to different standards and biases based on their sex or gender expression, and allowing harassment or other violent behaviors against certain genders to go unchecked.

This behavior strips away autonomy over one’s own body and separates people into arbitrary categories of worth or power. Everyone deserves respect, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, but these examples of discrimination remain all too common globally.


Solutions to Sexual Discrimination

One of the primary solutions to eradicating sexual discrimination is creating a society that understands and respects the differences between genders. Such a society must,

  • Promote gender equality, which is achieved only when both sides learn to respect each other’s strengths and weaknesses.
  • Companies must make sure they are providing fair opportunities to everyone, regardless of their gender.
  • Employers should make sure that their HR policies include zero-tolerance toward any form of sexual discrimination and should ensure that all staff members understand what counts as inappropriate behaviour.
  • Educating people on what is sexually equal and teaching them to treat everyone with respect can help create an environment where sexual discrimination doesn’t occur.
  • Anyone who witnesses sexual discrimination should feel empowered to take action they can in order to stop it.

International Perspectives on Sexual Discrimination

Sexual discrimination is a serious issue that appears across cultures and borders. Though each culture approaches the problem differently, the underlying concepts remain the same: women and minority genders being denied opportunities to which they are otherwise entitled based solely on their gender identity.

This kind of inequality impacts every level of society, making it more difficult for everyone to achieve their full potential. It’s a detrimental phenomenon in no way conducive to progress, and it’s essential that people from all over the world come together to recognize this problem and work together towards its eradication. Otherwise, no progress will be made and these issues will remain unaddressed.

"Working with this law firm made settling my case a breeze! When i was injured in my car accident and my car was totaled, i was so worried about handling the insurance company and all of the phone calls and paperwork while i had a concussion. With a couple visits and a few emails back and forth with my paralegal and attorney, my case was settled in less than a year! If i ever needed to be represented again i will 100% be choosing Breit Cantor Grana Buckner to represent me! I appreciate everything they did for me!"

"Was very happy with the service I received from this office Staff is very helpful & friendly. After just a few months my case was resolved & my outcome was better than expected! Kellie Jennings kept me up to date and informed through it all. I have another pending case & have no reservations that the outcome will be as good as the first. I would recommend to family & friends."

Cobi M.

"Throughout 2019 and 2020 Attorney Kevin Biniazan helped me with a personal injury case. Aside from the professionalism and attentiveness one would expect from a quality law firm such as Breit Cantor Grana Buckner, I was taken by the fact that they agreed to take my case on a contingency basis, even though there was little evidence in my favor in the early stages of preparation. This meant the world to me. It meant that they believed in me, and my case, when two other firms declined to take the case. In late 2020 the case settled out of court and I received a substantial monetary award that exceeded my expectations. Thank you Kevin, and all your support staff for believing in me when many others did not!!!!"

Markgerszewski

"This law firm was highly recommended by a friend who had prior representation. I am very pleased with their professionalism and they kept me well informed of my injury case. Attorney Kevin Biniazan and his team fought well for my rights and I received an extremely good settlement. I encourage you to give them a call as you will have a pleasant experience with their representation!"

Scott S.

"My experience with Breit Biniazan and his team was very positive. They were very helpful, were always available, took time to explain the process, and answer any questions I had. A special thanks to Kellie for all her support and efforts. I always felt she was on my side and looking out for my best interest. I would highly recommend Mr. Binazan and his team and would not hesitate to use their services should the need arise."

Mark T.

"Michael Collett represented us in our suit, and he was incredible. He made quick, efficient work of getting our case positively resolved while also making sure to keep us updated along the way. We recommend him to anyone seeking representation in a personal injury suit.

Our suit had dragged on for five years, and we wondered if it would ever be finished. Once Mike was handed our case, he immediately got to work getting to know us and understanding the timeline of events. Additionally, as a prior military member, he understood that our case was not a traditional cut-and-dry lawsuit: our life continued while the company dragged it out in court, including PCSing overseas and then back to the US during COVID. This kind of personal understanding and attention to detail was instrumental to our case. Mike's background, compassion, attentiveness, and professionalism made the difference; without him, we could have had a very different outcome.

If you are in need of any representation for a personal injury suit, I highly recommend Michael and his colleagues."

Kim V.

"I'm an attorney in Nebraska and represented a Nebraska family who lost their son/brother due to an electrocution on a job site in Virginia. After handling the workers' compensation claim in Nebraska, I reached out to multiple law firms in Virginia, ultimately co-counseling with Kevin Biniazan on the Virginia third party claims. He worked the case up, secured experts, and ultimately tried the case to a jury. Kevin and his team did a fantastic job presenting the case, arguing points of law, and overall just demonstrated that they had put extraordinary time and effort into preparing the case for trial. They secured a 7-figure recovery on tough facts and were great to work with along the way. I highly recommend Kevin and his firm."

Aaron B.

"I give Kevin Biniazan and his team the highest rating I can. I had a case in Va Beach a few years ago, called a few attorneys but ended up going with Kevin because of the knowledge and compassion he showed. After telling Kevin my issue, he and his team did all the work. They took the time to listen to my concerns and feelings, they were informative and available at all times. Along with the success of my case, Kevin and his team gave me the opportunity and support I needed to begin healing. I couldn’t recommend enough!"

Brit T.

"Outstanding service! My case lasted approximately 2 years, the staff was more than patient with me and the multiple questions I had throughout the process. I highly recommend their services to all."

Donald B.

"I was injured in a motorcycle accident with a car driver and refered to Breit Biniazan by a second lawfirm from my home state. They were professional and got me through one of the most painful times in my life. I simply gave them what they needed and they took care of the rest, getting me proper compensation for my pain and suffering."

Kurtis P.

"I took a chance on this firm from a recommendation and I couldn’t be happier with their work and the results of my case. Kellie and Nilda are pure gold! Kellie kept me appraised of everything that was going on, timely and answered all my questions and concerns. I followed a recommendation; trust me, Breit Biniazan is the very best!"

Ally A.

"Kevin, Kylee and his team are the best in the business! They are the most trustworthy,hardworking,dedicated, honest, and morally outstanding people I've had the pleasure of knowing."

Edward D.

"My experience with the team at Breit Biniazan was nothing short of outstanding. They handled our case with the utmost professionalism and compassion. Kellie, their paralegal proved to be an invaluable support. Kellie was compassionate and her communication helped us through a tough time. I highly recommend Breit Biniazan."

Craig M.

"I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Beasley and Ms. Jennings. I was unfortunately involved in multiple crashes that I was a victim of and sought their firm, Breit Biniazan for help with medical bills and other issues. They worked with me for well over a year, coming to a successful resolution for my cases. They are incredibly passionate about their job and getting to an outcome desired for their plaintiffs. I would recommend their firm for any cases you may have, no questions asked."

Zach H.

"I’ve never been in a lawsuit, nor have I been to court, or had anything dealing with legal matter so all of this was pretty new to me, and 9/10 it was scary & heart racing. The only reason I got through it is because of Kevin. If it wasn’t for him with his patience, his commitment to his client, or the will to go the distance I never would’ve had confidence in any of this legal stuff. 10/10 recommend Breit Biniazan."

Tyler B.

"Kept me informed of the entire process. Offered advice on how to proceed."

Kenneth P.

"Fantastic team! Kevin is an amazing attorney who comes through on his word. Kylee and the team of paralegals went above and beyond to help me understand what we should expect in the case. I highly recommend Kevin’s team to anyone who is not only in need of a legal team, but one who will get them what they deserve!"

Angelica S.

"Kevin and his team worked tirelessly to help us secure the best possible outcome for an incredibly difficult situation. They were supportive and attentive to our needs, walked us through the process step by step and fought hard for us. I would highly recommend Breit Biniazan for all of your legal needs."

Carmen A.

"Following a motor vehicle accident, I needed assistance with handling insurance issues and was referred to Breit Biniazan for their expertise. I had the pleasure of working with attorney Alexis Meier and her paralegal Molisa Gardner. They managed my case with utmost professionalism, efficiency, and thoroughness.

As a physician, I am aware that some law firms may try to enhance settlements by recommending excessive consultations, imaging studies, and other tests, as well as extensive therapy. However, Alexis and Molisa ensured that I received the necessary care without subjecting me to unnecessary tests or treatments. I found their approach to be both ethical and professional.

I wholeheartedly endorse Breit Biniazan and recommend their services to anyone in a similar situation."

Andrew D.

"Alexis Meier is an exceptional attorney—professional, knowledgeable, and highly effective. She handled my case with efficiency, care, and compassion, ensuring everything was managed seamlessly. Her team was equally impressive, always responsive and prompt in their communication. It was an absolute pleasure working with them, and I highly recommend Alexis and her team to anyone in need of outstanding legal representation."
