Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Civil Rights Act of 1991 provided additional legal weapons and stronger protection against sexual harassment in the workplace by allowing victims to sue for compensatory and punitive damages. Title IX of the Educational Amendments Act specifically addresses discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs and activities, not necessarily in the workplace. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, but did not provide the same level of legal remedies for sexual harassment as the 1991 Act. The Equal Rights Amendment, while promoting gender equality, was never ratified and therefore not enacted into law.
