London, UK -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/22/2015 -- Recent reports have brought attention to continuing cases where women in the UK have been dismissed from their place of work for reasons which discriminate against their gender. Many women argue that they have been unfairly dismissed in cases a man would not have been. A notable recent story showed how a working Doncaster mother was dismissed as she had to leave work to visit her daughter in hospital, whilst her husband was away on military leave. Any instances of women facing unfair treatment and even the risk of dismissal in their workplace are unacceptable however, and a number of legal teams are working to address the issue – including Employment Law Solicitor.

It is not just dismissal which is an aspect of threat towards women in employment – as a number have reported that they feel the effects of gender discrimination every day. According to Gallup data, 9% of women say that they have regularly suffered as a result of discrimination during their working lives. This compares to 6% of men.

In any case, discrimination in the workplace is unjust – whether the individual is male or female. This kind of behavior can corrode relations in the working environment and leave those affected feeling highly distressed. Fortunately, legal teams are working to achieve justice for those affected, especially in addressing cases involving unfair dismissal.

A prime example is Employment Law Solicitor, a team dedicated to the task – and a spokesperson had this to say:

"Discrimination on the grounds of gender in any workplace is unacceptable. People deserve to be valued in employment and therefore to feel subjected to any kind of mistreatment is obviously going to have a negative impact. If you feel that this has happened to you, seeking legal support is important; and this is something we strive to offer to all at Employment Law Solicitor. We have dealt with a number of cases where women have been dismissed from work for unjust reasons for example, and helped the affected receive appropriate redress."
