The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is the primary federal agency responsible for enforcing workplace anti-discrimination laws across the United States.
Established under the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the EEOC investigates claims involving hiring, promotions, wages, and workplace treatment to ensure employers comply with federal protections.
These laws prohibit discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex — including sexual orientation and gender identity — national origin, age, disability, and genetic information.
The EEOC has the authority to file lawsuits against employers, mediate disputes, and enforce compliance with federal employment law when violations are identified.
In recent years, the agency has played a central role in high-profile legal battles involving workplace diversity policies, corporate hiring practices, and civil rights enforcement priorities.
