Were you sexually harassed at work?
Sexual harassment in the workplace is an unlawful behavior that can take many forms. It includes any unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that interferes with an individual's work performance or creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment. It is important to understand that sexual harassment can occur between colleagues, superiors, subordinates, or even non-employees such as clients or vendors.
Sexual harassment is not limited to physical actions; it also encompasses offensive remarks about a person's sex, unwanted sexual comments, jokes, gestures, and the display of sexually suggestive materials. The key factor is that such conduct must be unwelcome, making the workplace environment uncomfortable or threatening for the victim.
In California, employees are protected from sexual harassment under several laws, including the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. These laws mandate that employers take proactive steps to prevent and address sexual harassment in the workplace.
