Sexual harassment is about the abuse of power. It is about threats, intimidation and humiliation. It is about subtle pressure and outright acts of violation. It is about creating a hostile work environment where victims and witnesses alike are afraid to speak up for what is right.
Sexual harassment is a growing problem in the workplace. In fact, more than 15,000 cases of sexual harassment are filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission each year. Studies also showed that 40 to 70 per cent of victims are women while 1 to 20 percent of them are men.
