Faces of EEOC Series

In this, our 50th anniversary year, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is launching a "Faces of EEOC" series to highlight the real-life stories of individuals on whose behalf EEOC has worked to end discrimination in the workplace.

Read Their Stories

The individuals we will feature in the course of this series may have experienced discrimination based on their race, color, sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation, and gender identity), age, national origin, religion, disability, or family medical history. Or they may have been retaliated against for trying to prevent discrimination at their company. Or they may have been standing up for a colleague or a group of individuals who couldn't stand up for themselves.

Regardless, EEOC is there to help, and while we often report on our work in numbers, behind those numbers are real people whose stories illustrate the damage wrought by discrimination and the desire we all share to be treated equally.

The Faces below represent a small sampling of the tens of thousands of lives EEOC improves each year. We will add to the series regularly. So come back to eeoc.gov often. Learn more about our Faces and our work to ensure equal employment opportunity for all.
