Treated unfairly at work because of your sex or gender?
← Back to Workplace Discrimination Lawyer
Sex and gender discrimination covers being treated less favourably because of your sex, gender identity, or intersex status, from unequal pay for the same work, to gendered assumptions about what roles you can do, to being treated differently because you don't conform to expectations.
This might be your situation if
- You're paid less than colleagues doing comparable work, with no genuine explanation.
- You've been passed over for roles or opportunities based on gendered assumptions.
- You've faced comments or treatment related to your gender identity.
- You're not sure if what's happened is discrimination or harassment, or both.
Tell us what's happened, including anything about pay or role differences you can point to, and we'll help you understand where you stand.
Common questions

A genuine, unexplained pay gap for the same or comparable work can raise a discrimination issue, alongside separate equal-pay mechanisms. It's worth having the specifics looked at rather than assumed.
