Protected Groups Under EEO Laws - Interactive Accessibility Diagram #149095 (License: Personal Use)

This interactive diagram illustrates the nine categories of protected groups recognized under U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) laws, including Race, Color, Religion, National Origin, Sex/Gender, Age, Disability, Genetic Information, and Veteran Status, plus “Other Protected Groups” for emerging categories. Each node is interlinked to emphasize intersectionality and overlapping identities, with an overlay inviting user engagement. The design supports accessibility and educational use in HR training, compliance programs, and civil rights resources.

Used on government agency websites (e.g., EEOC), HR compliance portals, diversity & inclusion training modules, and legal education pages; targets users seeking clarity on anti-discrimination protections, employers ensuring policy alignment, or advocates researching civil rights frameworks.
