Young women have often faced gender discrimination on the job, in public places, and in society. Recently, the “#MeToo” movement has brought to light the pervasiveness of sexual harassment and sexual abuse that millions of American women continue to encounter.
Elevator rides, medical appointments, and many other locations and circumstances are all opportunities that disrespectful people too often take advantage of at the expense of women.
A skilled Texas gender discrimination attorney from the Buzbee Law Firm can direct victims on paths leading to correction of the wrongdoing, and sometimes, compensation.
Discrimination Victims: Not Only Women
Sex and gender discrimination in the workplace is experienced by people in all demographic groups, including men and children. Children in child care facilities, student athletes in coaching settings, and elders in assisted living and nursing homes might also say, “Me too.”
From relatively mild things like catcalling all the way to rape and child sexual abuse, different laws protect victims and make compensation possible, especially in situations where the aggressor is in a position of authority over the victim.
Despite the laws, the #MeToo movement showed everyone just how widespread the problem of harassment still is. Victims need to know that they don’t have to take it. Our gender discrimination lawyers can show you how you can seek justice against your aggressor.

Consequences of Damage Through Harassment and Abuse
Repercussions for people targeted through various forms of gender discrimination may include fear, anxiety, stress and other strong negative emotions. Victims may blame themselves, hate themselves, or experience anger against their oppressors.
Other consequences may include significant inconvenience, missed opportunities and loss of a good reputation. Whatever the details of your gender discrimination and its effects on you, it is worth fighting back upon the realization that you have been a target.

Was Your Discrimination Criminal?
If you believe a crime was committed, consider reporting the events to the police. If you were shamed, assaulted, or harassed at work or school, report the abuse to an official. No matter how gender discrimination has affected you, we also encourage you to discuss your situation with an empathetic, skilled gender discrimination attorney in Texas.
You may have a reason to bring legal action against a perpetrator or someone in a position of power or authority who failed to protect you. You may be eligible for compensation through a settlement or verdict.
If your situation was criminal, you can still file a lawsuit against the perpetrator. You do not have to wait for the criminal case to finish before bringing a civil lawsuit. In fact, because of the difference in evidence standards, you could still win your civil case even if your aggressor wins their criminal case.
