“The Most Humiliating Experience of My Life”
Few experiences are worse than being
forced to repeatedly suffer the indignities of being groped, subjected to grossly lewd remarks, bombarded with repeated sexual
propositions, and enduring even worse sexual misconduct, all for the sake of keeping the job upon which you, and perhaps your
family, depend for support. It is therefore not surprising that employees victimized
by sexual harassment at work describe it as “the most humiliating experience” of their lives.
You Should Not
Tolerate Sexual Harassment
You should not be required to tolerate
sexual harassment in your work environment, nor should tolerating that harassment be a condition of keeping your job. All employers covered by the various anti-sexual harassment laws are required to provide
you with a workplace free of sexual harassment, and to take effective action to stop such harassment when you complain of
it. For their own protection, employers should have effective anti-sexual harassment
policies and should follow those policies.
If You Are Sexually
Harassed, Seek Legal Advice
If you are sexually harassed at work,
and your complaints are not heeded, and it does not stop, or, if you complain and are fired or have other retaliatory action
taken against you, you may have important legal remedies.

situation, then, please, TALK TO US. We look forward to helping you.
