Sex Discrimination Act 1975 requires what?

• A. Only employers with more than 50 employees must comply
• B. Discrimination is allowed in some cases
• C. The Act applies only to promotions, not hiring
• D. Sex Discrimination Act 1975 — person must not be discriminated against because of gender

Answer: (D)

This question tests the idea that the Sex Discrimination Act 1975 protects people from unfair treatment because of their gender. It requires that individuals must not be discriminated against on the basis of sex in areas like employment—hiring, pay, promotion, and terms and conditions—as well as in education and training. The statement that best fits is that a person must not be discriminated against because of gender, because the act aims to ensure equal treatment regardless of sex. The other options don’t fit because the law does not limit compliance to only large employers, discrimination isn’t allowed in general (there are only very limited exemptions), and the act covers more than just promotions.
