The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) defines sexual harassment as any unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, verbal or physical harassment of a sexual nature, as well as offensive remarks about a person's gender.
There are two types: quid pro quo and hostile work environment. Examples would include: sexual favors/requests in return for benefits, comments of a sexual nature, unwelcome physical contact or touching, offensive sexual materials (pornographic pictures), use of demeaning or inappropriate words or jokes, or various benefits are given to employees who accept sexual favors.
Sexual harassment is any type of sexual advance.
Wrong. LAW says unwelcome sexual conduct that persists despite objections. Nothing else.
This can come in the form of physical contact, verbal statements, or other modes of communication (email, text, etc). I would not say there are only two types but below I have outlines some forms sexual harassment comes in
* Direct sexual conduct by employer - An employer is not permitted to make sexual remarks or sexual advances.
Again, false. The threshold for ILLEGAL sexual conduct is very high - a workplace FILLED with sexual misconduct, never stray remarks.
* Quid pro quo - An employer is also prohibited from negotiating the terms of employment in exchange for sexual conduct.
* Hostile work environment - An employer may be responsible for harassment if co-workers or supervisors maintain a work environment that is overly sexual. An employer is required to keep the employment environment free from sexual harassment. An employer may be held liable when a supervisor or co-worker is the harasser.
* Stereotypes - An employer, co-worker or supervisor also cannot harass you because you do not conform to the typical male or female stereotype.
Examples are:
continually touching or violating your body
sending dirty messages that upset the victim
Wrong. The victim being upset is NEVER a factor. Courts insist that the conduct must be bad enough to offend a REASONABLE PERSON.
There are many things that can constitute sexual harassment in the workplace. Inappropriate comments, touching, and even emails with inappropriate content fall into this category. Discuss any issues with HR.
The sole purpose of sexual harassment laws is to protect employees from being attacked or fondled
Yes it is. It does not matter if it is in the work place or not. Sexual harassment can happen any where and at any place and is not just limited to employees.
Sexual harassment can be committed in many areas of a work related environment. It can be between a co-worker during lunch, meetings, before work and after work.
Sexual harassment can occur in various settings, but common places include workplaces, schools, online environments, public spaces, and social events. It can happen between colleagues, supervisors and subordinates, classmates, friends, or strangers.
Sexual harassment can take many different forms, from physical to verbal and nonverbal conduct. Employers are legally required to take measures to address sexual harassment in the workplace, and employees should be aware of their rights. If you have experienced sexual harassment at work, you can contact Cummings & Franck, P. C. a professional sexual harassment lawyer in California, for the best legal advice.
There isn't a agency for sexual harassment. There are however laws regarding sexual harassment. If you feel you are being sexually harassed you can contact you Human Resources Dept. at the company you work for and/or a law firm to file suit against the harasser.

We could Have our Own stations or we ccould have survelance cameras and the ones that are doing sexual harrasment we could fire them or the employess that get sexual harrasment could tell the boss and they could fire the perverts.
A lawyer doesn't just practice sexual harassment law. They are more often a personal injury attorney and it depends on if they work with a firm and how many cases they take.
