40 U.S.C. § 122 — Prohibition on sex discrimination

This section bans sex discrimination in certain federally assisted programs. (a) Prohibition. In any program or activity that is carried on, or that receives federal assistance, under this subtitle, no individual may be excluded from taking part, denied benefits, or otherwise discriminated against because of their sex. (b) Enforcement. This rule is enforced using agency rules and procedures similar to those already in place for enforcing the ban on racial and other discrimination under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. But this enforcement method is not the only option — using it does not take away or reduce any other legal remedy a person might have if they experience discrimination.
