Sexual Harassment and the Law

Sexual harassment involves unwelcome sexual advances, comments, or behavior that create a hostile or uncomfortable environment at work, school, or other settings. Laws against sexual harassment aim to protect individuals from such conduct, whether it’s from coworkers, supervisors, or anyone in a position of authority. Employers are required to prevent harassment and address complaints. Violating these laws can lead to legal action, fines, or penalties. Everyone has the right to a safe and respectful environment, and legal protections are in place to support those who experience harassment.
