About Sexual Harassment in the Workplace
Are you a victim of sexual harassment at work? Our lawyers can help.
Sexual harassment can be devastating to women and to men. Victims may be made to feel so uncomfortable that they ask to be transferred or may even quit their jobs to avoid being subjected to ongoing unfair treatment and harassment. In cases involving “Quid Pro Quo,” a worker may even be wrongfully terminated for refusing to offer sexual favors.
Women Are Not to Blame
Women who file complaints about sexual harassment are often made to feel as if they are somehow responsible for the aggressive acts against them made by men, or even by other women. They may be accused of wearing provocative clothing, being flirty, or even being “too attractive.” But the law is clear: unwanted sexual attention that is persistent or severe is against the law.
It Happens to Men, Too
Men can also be victims of sexual harassment in the work place. Though not as commonly reported, when men file complaints they are often discounted and are less likely to be taken seriously than complaints by women.
And, for both men and women, the very act of filing a complaint can be embarrassing as they are required to offer details about how they were specifically being sexually harassed.
