Since the passage of the No FEAR Act of 2002, scholars across various disciplines have examined women’s reporting behavior toward sex-based discrimination. Most of the scholarship has concentrated on why women do not report sex-based discrimination, with this study being no exception. Missing, however, from this research is the intersectionality of race and gender, as most studies capture women as a homogeneous group without regard to race or ethnicity. Using a subsample of women who responded “yes” to having experienced sex-based discrimination (n = 550) in the workplace but chose not to report the unlawful behavior, this study employs a series of mean comparisons to differentiate women’s non-reporting behavior by race or ethnicity. The findings suggest women of color as a group, as well as African-American and Latina respondents by their respective minority race or ethnic subgroup, have differences in non-reporting behavior in comparison to White women. These findings are important because they illustrate a more accurate examination of women’s reporting behavior in the workplace.

自从2002年《禁止恐惧法案》通过以来，各个学科的学者都研究了妇女对基于性别的歧视的举报行为。大多数奖学金都集中在为什么女性不报告基于性别的歧视上，这项研究也不例外。然而，这项研究缺少种族和性别的交集，因为大多数研究都将妇女视为同质群体，而没有考虑种族或种族。使用对经历过基于性别的歧视回答“是”的女性子样本（n = 550），但选择不报告非法行为，该研究采用了一系列均值比较，以根据种族或种族来区分女性的非举报行为。研究结果表明，有色女人作为一个整体，以及非裔美国人和拉美裔受访者（按其各自的少数民族或种族子群体）与白人女性相比，在非举报行为方面存在差异。这些发现很重要，因为它们说明了对工作场所中妇女举报行为的更准确的检查。
