If you feel you have been treated unfairly because of gender…
Unlawful sex discrimination happens when someone is treated unfairly because of their gender. Women, men and transsexual people can all experience sex discrimination.
Sex discrimination also includes treating someone less favourably because they are married or in a civil partnership: for example, by not hiring married women.
Under the Sex Discrimination Act, it is unlawful for someone to discriminate against you because of your gender, whether at work, in education, as a consumer or in public services.
