Gender Discrimination - KF Law | Los Angeles Criminal Defense, Personal Injury & Employment Attorney

Protecting Workers from Sex and Gender Discrimination Across Southern California

In today’s workplace, gender should never determine your opportunities, pay, or treatment, yet discrimination based on sex or gender remains a widespread problem. At KF Law, we represent employees in Los Angeles and across Southern California who have been mistreated, underpaid, harassed, or fired due to their gender.

Whether you’re facing unequal pay, biased hiring practices, workplace harassment, or retaliation for speaking up, our experienced California employment lawyers are here to fight for your rights.

What Is Gender Discrimination in the Workplace?

Gender discrimination (also called sex discrimination) occurs when an employee is treated unfairly or unequally because of their:

Gender or gender identity
Sex assigned at birth
Sexual orientation
Gender expression
Pregnancy or parental status

This type of discrimination can impact every aspect of your job—from hiring and promotions to discipline, pay, or even termination.

Examples of Gender Discrimination in Los Angeles Workplaces

Being paid less than male colleagues for the same work
Being passed over for promotions due to gender
Sexist comments, jokes, or “locker room” behavior tolerated by management
Being penalized for taking maternity or parental leave
Being disciplined more harshly than male coworkers for similar conduct
Discrimination against LGBTQ+ employees or nonbinary individuals
Retaliation after complaining about harassment or unequal treatment

If you’ve experienced any of these, you may have a valid claim under California and federal law.
