Sexual Discrimination

12 Sexual Discrimination

It is illegal (with a few exceptions) for an advertisement to discriminate against women or men in opportunities for employment, education and training and the provision of accommodation, goods, facilities and services.

The Sex Discrimination Act 1975 (as amended) makes it unlawful to discriminate solely on the grounds of sex. The Acts apply to employment, education and training opportunities; and accommodation, goods, facilities and services provided to the public. There are some exceptions, full details of which can be obtained from the Equal Opportunities Commission on 08456015901; website: www.eoc.org.uk
