Innov8 Computers Inc.,a U.S.-based company,has its operations in Kiribati,a developing country.The culture of the country does not permit women to deal with men professionally,though there is no law limiting women to jobs that do not require much interaction with men.Sarah,a U.S.citizen working for Innov8 Computers in Kiribati,is denied a promotion to the position of senior client manager because the job would require Sarah to interact with men inside and outside the company,and this would violate the cultural norms of Kiribati.Sarah believes this to be gender discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.Is she correct?
A) No, because Title VII does not apply to American-owned or -controlled companies doing business outside the United States such as Innov8 Computers.
B) No, because customer preference and cultural norms are a legitimate and protected reason to treat otherwise-qualified employees differently based on gender.
C) Yes, because Innov8 Computers is required to comply with Title VII unless doing so would cause the company to actually violate the law of the country in which the business is located.
D) Yes, because gender cannot be used as a bona fide occupational qualification under any circumstances.
