Human Rights and Discrimination
Human rights laws prohibit discrimination and harassment at the workplace based on certain characteristics, including race, color, ancestry, religion, place of origin, ethnic origin, citizenship, sex (including pregnancy, gender identity), sexual orientation, sexual identity and expression, age, marital status, family status, disability, and receipt of public assistance.
