Facts About Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination that violates Title VII of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964.
Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct
of a sexual nature constitutes sexual harassment when submission to or rejection of this conduct
explicitly or implicitly affects an individual's employment, unreasonably interferes with an
individual's work performance or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment.
Sexual harassment can occur in a variety of circumstances, including but not limited to the following:
- The victim as well as the harasser may be a woman or a man. The victim does not have to be
of the opposite sex.
- The harasser can be the victim's supervisor, an agent of the employer, a supervisor in
another area, a co-worker, or a non-employee.
- The victim does not have to be the person harassed but could be anyone affected by the
offensive conduct.
- Unlawful sexual harassment may occur without economic injury to or discharge of the victim.
- The harasser's conduct must be unwelcome.
It is helpful for the victim to directly inform the harasser that the conduct is unwelcome and
must stop. The victim should use any employer complaint mechanism or grievance system available.
