There is absolutely no tolerance for sexual harassment in today’s workplace. And yet it is still happens all too often. Victims of sexual harassment experience both emotional and financial harm. However, most victims suffer in silence. They often hope that the problem will just “go away”. But it won’t. They are caught in a daily trap of going to work in a hostile work environment. They often endure strained relationships with co-workers, friends and loved ones and they are denied promotion, raises, overtime and more. If you are a victim of sexual harassment, do not be silent. Seek legal advice from an experienced employment law attorney.

What Constitutes Sexual Harassment

According to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), sexual harassment includes:

• Unwelcome verbal conduct such as derogatory jokes, epithets, sexual advances or invitations, and other comments;

• Unwelcome visual conduct such as derogatory and/or sexually-oriented posters, photographs, e-mails, cartoons, and drawings;

• Unwelcome physical conduct such as sexual assault, unwanted touching, groping, or massages, simulated sex acts, blocking normal body movement and interfering with work because of sex, race or any other protected basis; and\

• Threats and demands to submit to sexual requests as a condition of continued employment, or to avoid some other loss, and offers of employment benefits in return for sexual favors.

Report Sexual Harassment

Keeping silent about sexual harassment only helps promote further harassment. According to Texas law, a victim’s rights are limited unless they report harassment. If you are a victim of sexual harassment, the most important thing you can do to stop the problem and remedy the situation is to report the harassment.

The employer has a responsibility to clearly identify to whom the employee should report the sexual harassment. If an employer does not have clear anti-harassment guidelines, victims of sexual harassment should report the issue to a supervisor, manager, Human Resources department, and even the company president or owner. Reporting hostile work environment harassment is important because a victim’s failure to file a complaint may later prevent him/her from receiving justice and compensation for sexual harassment.
