Abstract
Sex discrimination has been prohibited in the workplace for over 40 years. Yet even though sex discrimination persists, very few claims reach the courts each year. This Brief reports on the findings from a small interview study with Victorian lawyers which sought to identify the barriers that women face when contemplating whether to pursue a legal claim for sex discrimination at work.
