The conversation can be held in private or in front of others if that seems appropriate. The victim may also want to write a letter if that will not jeopardize her job or safety. A copy of the letter should be kept. Keep a record The victim should keep a journal of all incidents with dates, times, places, and persons who have witnessed the activity. It is also important to record physical and emotional conditions.
Journals can become important documentation if legal action later becomes necessary.
See if others are affected . The victim can see if others in the workplace are having the same problem. They may be a source of support and help resolve the situation. This should be done discreetly and only if the victim is comfortable doing so. The victim also needs to assess whether to first seek help from the employer before talking to others on the job.
