Title VII is a provision of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that prohibits discrimination in virtually every employment circumstance on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, pregnancy, or national origin. In general, Title VII applies to employers with 15 or more employees. The purpose of Title VII’s protections is to “level the playing field” by forcing employers to consider only objective, job-related criteria in making employment decisions. The above classes of individuals are considered “protected” under Title VII because of the history of unequal treatment that has been identified in each class.
