I’m experiencing sexual harassment or discrimination.
Sexual harassment refers to unwelcome sexual advances, comments of a sexual nature, requests for sexual favors, and harassment or comments about an individual’s gender, all of which create a hostile work environment. Most commonly, sexual harassment is perpetrated by someone in a position of authority over the victim, such as an employer, supervisor, or teacher.
Sexual harassment is illegal in the U.S., defined and governed by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). (Source)
