The Office of Discrimination enforces laws against employment discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), national origin, disability, age (40 or older), marital status or genetic information. These laws can be found in 19 Delaware Code Chapter 7. Other laws may protect you from other types of discrimination, such as discrimination in public accommodation or housing. These laws are enforced by the Delaware Human Relations Commission, http://www.state.de.us/sos/hr/.

• Harassment by managers, co-workers, or others in your workplace, because of your race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), national origin, disability, age (40 or older), marital status or genetic information.
• Denial of a reasonable workplace change that you need because of your religious beliefs or disability.
• Retaliation because you complained about job discrimination, or assisted with a job discrimination investigation or lawsuit.
