Our Mission
The Office of Equal Opportunity and Civil Rights Programs provides equal employment opportunities (EEO) by eliminating discrimination and harassment in employment based on the following protected bases: race, color, national origin, religion, sex (including gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy), age (40 years of age and older), disability (physical and/or mental), genetic information and reprisal/retaliation for protected EEO activity. OEOCRP seeks to maintain a work environment free from any form of discrimination and harassment, including sexual harassment. We also provide a prompt, fair, and impartial review and adjudication of discrimination complaints, which helps develop and retain a motivated, highly skilled workforce.
