Excerpt from A Guide to Federal Laws and Regulations Prohibiting Sex Discrimination In 1972 the jurisdiction of the United States Commission on Civil Rights was expanded to include discrimination on the basis of sex. Over the last 10 years, Congress has passed several measures, the President has issued Executive orders, and several Federal agencies have promulgated regulations-all of which prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex. This publication is intended to inform individuals of their rights under the law and to describe the practical steps they may take to protect their rights.
