In The Workplace We all have a friend or a colleague who has been sexually harassed by her supervisor or co-worker. Sexual harassment is so common that many women accept it as part of a day's work. However, it is a form of sex discrimination. And it is illegal.
Sexual harassment is unwelcome sexual conduct in the workplace.
It may be pressure for dates or sexual favors, explicit sexual remarks, or derogatory or suggestive gestures. Or it may be leering, touching, or even actual or attempted assault or rape. Keep a written record of what happened, including when it happened, how you responded, whether there were witnesses, and whom you told. Talk to other employees if you suspect that they too have been harassed. Report the harassment to your supervisor and ask that it be stopped.
