A North Carolina ministry has agreed to ensure its federally funded job training and residential program for homeless veterans doesn’t discriminate against women – resolving a sex discrimination complaint the SPLC filed on behalf of female veterans who were not given access to the same job training classes as men.
The agreement

Buncombe Community Christian Ministry to revise its programs and

Meghann K. Burke filed the complaint with the U.S. Department of Labor’s
Civil Rights Center in 2012.
