Most anti-discrimination laws have an anti-retaliation provision in them as well. If your employer retaliates against you, let’s say they fire you or they demote you after you’ve complained about discrimination, the law will protect you on that. In fact, it’s one of the most important elements of these anti-discrimination laws because the courts and Congress have made clear, they want to encourage people to come forward with these complaints of discrimination to help stamp it out. And when an employer takes actions against somebody for doing that, there are strong anti-retaliation provisions that will allow you to go into court and get redress for that.
