Sex
discrimination
The
Sex Discrimination Act 1975 makes it unlawful to discriminate on the grounds of
sex. Specifically, sex discrimination is not allowed in employment, education,
advertising or when providing housing, goods, services or facilities. It is
unlawful to discriminate because
someone is married,
in employment or advertisements for jobs. It is also unlawful to discriminate in
the employment field on the grounds of gender reassignment, or pregnancy and
maternity. Harassment in employment, vocational training and further
education is also specifically prohibited.
However please note that exceptions can be made when gender is a
genuine occupational qualification. It would not be against the law, for
example, for the post of an attendant in a female lavatory to be open only to
women.
