Protected characteristics include:
- Race or ethnicity
- Gender or gender identity

Discrimination can take many forms, including:
- Being denied promotions or job opportunities
- Unequal pay for the same work
- Harassment or hostile work environment
- Unfair disciplinary actions

These actions violate your rights and can be challenged under California employment law.
