What Is Sexual Harassment?

Sexual harassment occurs when an employer, co-employee, supervisor, or client sexually harasses an employee. This type of conduct comprises an illegal hostile work environment and can be the basis of a forced resignation or wrongful termination.

Sexual harassment victims not only suffer emotional pain, but this type of conduct often profoundly affects the victim's productivity and work assignments, forcing the victim to avoid negative interactions with the harasser.

Many victims of sexual harassment have been driven from their chosen professions due to the employer's toleration of the conduct and through no fault of their own. Reporting sexual harassment is difficult, as it could lead to retaliation by those in power at the organization.

Harassment can manifest in the form of:

Physical abuse or assault: This can include unwanted touching, groping, or pinching
Verbal abuse: This could be sexual or derogatory language or repeated sexual advances or implied threats
Visual abuse: This occurs when offensive visual materials and gestures are used that are intended to demean and insult
Quid pro quo harassment: This involves an employer promising benefits to an employee if they engage in sexual activity or punishment for refusing
Hostile work environment: This involves unwanted verbal, visual, or physical conduct that may render the work environment hostile and intimidating

Employees Protected Under Anti-Sexual Harassment Statutes

Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature--explicitly or implicitly--in the job setting is unlawful if it unreasonably interferes with an individual's job performance or creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment. In the vast majority of cases, the perpetrator of sexual harassment toward an employee is not a stranger, but rather a manager, a supervisor, and/or a co-employee and may involve any of the following types of conduct:

Unwanted sexual advances
Requests for sexual favors
Verbal comments, slurs, or jokes of a sexual nature
Sexual innuendos or other sexually suggestive features
Obscene phone calls, emails, tweets, or notes
Pictures, cartoons, or other graphical material of a sexual or provocative nature
Leering or ogling; staring in a sexually suggestive manner
Sexually suggestive objects or offensive materials, displaying and/or distributing

Physical touching, including touch in passing, brushing against, pinching, patting, grabbing, groping, or coercing sexual acts
Being completely exposed or exposing oneself
Showing, displaying, or exposing sexual body parts such as breasts, buttocks, or genitals

Sexual harassment can deny employees and job applicants equal employment opportunities. The harasser can be the victim's supervisor, an agent of the employer, a supervisor in another area, a co-worker, or a non-employee, such as a client or a customer.
