What is Sexual Harassment?

  • When a boss or a manager offers or threatens employment or promotions in exchange for unwanted sex.
  • It doesn’t have to be physical or verbal and can happen with actions, gestures, photos, posters, notes, leering looks and innuendos.
  • It is not limited by gender or sexual orientation.
  • Women and men can cause or be the victims of Sexual Harassment.
  • It can occur with a single act, or through a series of acts during any work-related event, activity or function.

There are two types of Sexual Harassment:

              Quid pro quo Sexual Harassment: Sleep with me to get or keep your job. Quid pro quo Sexual Harassment is the one most people think of (a favor given or expected in return for something). This happens when your supervisor requires you to provide sex to get the job, a promotion, benefits, or even to keep your job.

              Hostile Work Environment Sexual HarassmentYou want me to touch WHAT? A Hostile Work Environment exists when harassment creates a hostile, offensive, oppressive, or intimidating work environment and deprives you of your statutory right to work in a place free of discrimination when the harassment offends, humiliates, distresses, or intrudes upon you, so as to disrupt the your emotional tranquility in the workplace, affect your ability to perform the job as usual, or otherwise interfere with and undermines your personal sense of well-being.
