Understanding Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment at work includes unwelcome sexual advances, verbal or physical harassment of a sexual nature, and any behavior that creates a hostile work environment. It can occur:
- In the office, during work events, or even through texts, emails, or phone calls.
- As quid pro quo harassment, where job benefits are conditioned on sexual favors.
- As a hostile work environment, where repeated harassment affects job performance and well-being.
- Examples of workplace sexual harassment include:
- Unwanted touching or physical contact
- Sexual jokes, comments, or body shaming
- Repeated personal invitations or romantic advances
- Inappropriate emails, messages, or suggestive photos
- Retaliation after rejecting a sexual advance
