The U.S. Department of Justice has agreed to a $22.6 million settlement in response to a lawsuit brought by 34 women who alleged they were unfairly dismissed from the FBI's agent training

academy due to gender discrimination. This information comes from a court filing on Monday.

The settlement, which is pending approval by a federal judge in Washington, D.C., would resolve a class-action lawsuit initiated in 2019. The lawsuit accused the FBI, a division of the Justice Department, of having a systemic practice of pushing female trainees out of the academy. Photo by Shinsuke Ikegame, Wikimedia commons.
