Question

Which of these actions could constitute a breach of the Civil Rights Act?

Answer 1

E. The human resource department did not promote Fatima because they thought that she would not be able to travel as frequently as the job requred because she has two young children.

This action constituted a breach of the Civil Rights Act.

The provisions found in the Civil Rights Act forbade discrimination on the basis of sex as well as race in hiring, promoting, and firing.

In the above scenario, the HR department discriminated Fatima based on her gender ( a female and a mother). They did not give her the chance to have equal employment opportunity.
