Standing up for yourself shouldn't require a law degree.
Discrimination Navigator is an educational platform built to help employees understand their rights and navigate the process of filing a charge for discrimination in the workplace. Clearly, confidently, and on their own terms.
The system is open to everyone. Navigating it isn't.
Every year, hundreds of thousands of people experience discrimination in the workplace, because of their race, sex, age, disability, religion, national origin, pregnancy, or because they had the nerve to speak up. Most of them never take action. Not because they don't have a case, but because the path to doing something about it feels impossible to walk alone.
Filing a Charge of Discrimination with the EEOC is supposed to be accessible to anyone. In practice, it's full of unfamiliar terms, unforgiving deadlines, and forms that read like they were written for lawyers, because, largely, they were. Hiring one to help can run into the thousands of dollars, money most people simply don't have in the exact moment they've lost income, standing, or a job.
Discrimination Navigator was built to close that gap. We take the EEOC charge process and turn it into something you can actually understand and act on: plain-language education, structured toolkits, and step-by-step tools that help you document what happened and file it the right way the first time.
Built for the whole road, not just the paperwork.
Education first.
Before you file anything, you need to know what actually counts as discrimination in the workplace, what the EEOC can and can't do for you, and what a strong charge really looks like. Our guides and resources break it down in language that respects your intelligence without assuming you went to law school.
Tools that do the heavy lifting.
From the eligibility calculator that helps you understand where you stand, to the Charge of Discrimination wizard that helps you turn your experience into a clear, complete, properly framed charge, our tools are designed to carry the weight that usually sends people to an attorney they can't afford.
Toolkits for every stage.
Gathering evidence, building a timeline, communicating with HR, protecting your wellbeing, rebuilding your career: discrimination touches all of it, not just the filing. Our toolkits are built for each part of the journey, so you're supported before, during, and after you decide to act.
The Origin
Discrimination Navigator was founded by Lucy Chukwurah, an employment attorney who has spent over two decades watching capable people walk away from valid claims for one reason: no one had ever shown them how the process worked. DN is the resource she wished those people had, built so that knowing your rights doesn't depend on being able to afford an hour of a lawyer's time.
Not sure where you stand? That's exactly where we begin.
