What Is Considered Sexual Harassment?
Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination under federal law, and a wide range of conduct can qualify. To be actionable, conduct generally must be unwelcome.
Actions that may constitute sexual harassment include, but are not limited to:
- Offensive or unwanted remarks about looks, clothing, or body parts
- Staring in a sexually suggestive manner
- Sending explicit or sexually suggestive emails or messages
- Telling sexual or lewd jokes
- Making sexual gestures
- Any unwanted physical contact of a sexual nature
If you’ve experienced any of these behaviors at work, contact our firm. You don’t have to tolerate sexual harassment or sex discrimination, and understanding your rights is the first step toward protecting them.
Who Is Protected Under Sexual Harassment Law?
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects a broad range of employees. Both the victim and the harasser can be of any gender. The law doesn’t require them to be of opposite sexes. Current federal interpretation also recognizes harassment based on gender identity and sexual orientation as forms of sex discrimination.
The harasser can be a supervisor, a coworker, or a non-employee such as a client or vendor. In some circumstances, an employee who witnesses pervasive harassment of a coworker may also have grounds to bring a complaint. If you’re uncertain whether your situation qualifies, speaking with one of our attorneys can be the best way to understand your options.
