Sexual harassment encompasses a range of unwelcome behaviors of a sexual nature that create an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment. It includes unwanted sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, inappropriate communications, and sharing explicit photos or videos. Spreading sexually charged rumors, making gender-based remarks, or indulging in inappropriate sexual gestures or jokes also fall under the umbrella of sexual harassment.
Sexual harassment in the workplace can have detrimental effects on victims, leading to emotional distress, career setbacks, and overall well-being damage. It is, therefore, crucial to address it head-on with the right legal support. An attorney can help you understand the situation you’re in and determine the right steps to hold your employer accountable.Â
It is important to understand that the victim as well as the perpetrator can be of any gender. Moreover, the offender need not be a coworker or supervisor – even non-employees like clients or customers can be guilty of sexual harassment.
Victims of sexual harassment often find themselves at the receiving end of retaliation when they refuse to comply with unwanted sexual advances or speak up about their traumatic experiences. This retaliation can manifest in various ways, such as job termination, demotion, salary reduction, or being assigned unfavorable tasks that further exacerbate their distress. It is important to address these harmful consequences and create a safe environment for victims to come forward without fear of retaliation.

Employees should report the harassment to their employer and file a complaint with the appropriate state or federal agency. However, navigating through this legal maze can be daunting, which is where the assistance of an attorney comes into play.
