Women’s Rights Center

Our New Jersey Employment lawyers represent women in all areas of employment litigation. Unwelcomed harassment and other forms of sex discrimination remain a persistent problem at the workplace for women in New Jersey and across the country. While there are many different laws that make it illegal to treat women differently than men, there remains far too many women who continue to be treated differently at work on the account of their gender. Our firm fights for women’s rights to work in a discrimination and harassment free workplace.

The Smith Eibeler Women’s Rights Center was created to provide important information to you concerning some of the laws that protect women from workplace harassment and discrimination. Workplace harassment remains a persistent problem and far too often goes unreported. According to the 2016 Select Task Force of the Study of Harassment in the Workplace, 3 of 4 individuals who experience harassment at work do not report it to their employer for fear they will not be believed or risk of being retaliated for making the complaint. While the #Metoo movement has clearly made a significant impact in bringing the issue of sexual harassment at the workplace to the public light, there is much more to be done in addressing this serious societal problem.

Both state and federal law provide for strong protections against harassment and discrimination, including laws against sexual harassment, quid pro quo harassment, retaliation, pregnancy discrimination and unequal pay laws. Our New Jersey women rights lawyers have successfully litigated on behalf of aggrieved women in all the following areas of law:
