2. If your situation involves sex discrimination or harassment when trying to get health care, we will send you the names of three attorneys in the Legal Network for Gender Equity who work in your state (even if they don’t live in your state).
3. You are responsible for reaching out to the attorneys to set up a call or meeting. Â
4. Attorneys in our network do a first consultation for free with anyone coming through our network. At that consultation you can talk about what happened to you and discuss your options. Â
5. After the free first call or meeting, you may want to hire the attorney. Some of the attorneys may offer free or low-cost services.Â
6. You can look here for additional resources.  Â
7. If you need help filling out the form or have questions, please contact us at [email protected] or call us at (202) 319-3053.Â
If you or someone you know has faced discrimination in health care, there are various legal options available. You can go directly to court to stop acts of discrimination and get compensation for any injuries you suffered. You can also file a complaint with the Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights.
