Ending Sex and Race Discrimination in the Workplace: Legal Interventions That Push the Envelope

By Ariane Hegewisch

This report examines the changes to employment policies and practices mandated as part of sex and race employment discrimination litigation. The report is based on the analysis of more than 500 consent decrees (court supervised pre-trial settlements) that were negotiated by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) or private law firms, and on the negotiation and implementation of four in-depth studies of sex discrimination consent decrees. It makes recommendations on how to improve the effectiveness and reach of employment discrimination consent decrees. The research was made possible by generous funding from the Ford Foundation.The report was prepared by Ariane Hegewisch, Study Director at IWPR; Cynthia Deitch, PhD, Associate Professor of Women's Studies, Sociology, and Public Policy at George Washington University; and Evelyn Murphy, PhD, Founder and Director of the WAGE Project.
