What legislation exists to protect people against sexual harassment?


It's for my college course!

civil rights is what it should fall into.A harassment claim can consist of one incident or a series of incidents. The latter is a case of鈥渃ontinuing violations鈥?where repeated acts of harassment have occurred. The complaint can go as far back in time as 300 days in its allegations, as long as it is filed within 180
days of the most recent incident. Civil rights legislation has made sexual harassment of either sex prohibited behavior and permits the harassed employee to bring a lawsuit against the employer who knew or should have known about the harassment. Prohibited conduct is anything that makes the target feel
uncomfortable, including:
鈥?sexual advances
鈥?request for sexual favors
鈥?verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature
which affects the target鈥檚 employment
鈥?conduct creating an offensive, hostile and
intimidating work environment
鈥?unreasonable interferences with the target鈥檚
work performance

Existing Civil Rights Laws protect you on the job. Other laws pr0tect you from sexual harassment/predators and police reports can be filed against the offender. The harasser Can be of the same sex and or race! Contacting EEOC for a brochure on the laws are available at most Federal Buildings.
