What is Sexual Harassment?

Sexual harassment involves unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that interferes with an individual’s employment or creates a hostile work environment.

Types of Sexual Harassment Include:

• Quid Pro Quo: When job benefits (promotions, raises, continued employment) are contingent upon the victim providing sexual favors.
• Hostile Work Environment: When unwelcome sexual behavior or comments create a distressing, intimidating, or offensive workplace for the victim.

Common Signs of Sexual Harassment Include:

• Unwanted physical contact or advances.
• Lewd jokes, comments, or gestures.
• Sharing or displaying sexually explicit material.
• Spreading sexual rumors or making derogatory comments.
• Stalking or cyberbullying of a sexual nature.

What are my legal rights?

1. Protection: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act in the U.S. protects employees from sexual harassment.
2. Retaliation: It’s illegal for employers to retaliate against an individual for reporting harassment.
3. Privacy: Victims have a right to privacy, and employers should ensure confidentiality in reporting processes.

How do I Respond to Sexual Harassment?

• Speak Out: If you feel comfortable, let the harasser know that their behavior is unwelcome.
• Document: Maintain a detailed record of incidents, including dates, times, places, people involved, and potential witnesses.
• Report: Use your company’s internal reporting procedures to bring attention to the harassment.
• Seek External Support: If internal mechanisms fail or if you face retaliation, consider seeking legal counsel or reporting to external entities like the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).

Sexual harassment is not only a breach of professional conduct but also a violation of individual rights. By understanding, addressing, and combating it, we can create workplaces where every individual feels valued, respected, and safe.
