What Is Sexual Harassment?

Sexual harassment is a form of discrimination in the workplace when it alters the terms or conditions of employment. This form of harassment targets someone because of their sex assigned at birth, sexual orientation, or gender identity. Sexual harassment can take many forms, including:

• Touching another person in the workplace in a sexual manner
• Showing explicit photos or videos in the workplace
• Standing close to someone else so that they come in physical contact when passing or trying to move past them or blocking someone from escaping the harassment
• Making sexual gestures
• Joking about sex or private parts
• Name-calling based on a person’s sex
• Teasing someone about their sexual orientation or gender identity
• Touching oneself in a sexual way in front of others
• Unwanted sexual advances
• Asking for sexual favors
• Displaying images of a sexual nature
• Intentionally exposing private parts

A claim can be actionable even if the harassing party is not an employer or supervisor, such as a coworker, customer, or outside vendor. Additionally, the person targeted does not have to be the one to make the claim. If you observe these actions in the workplace, you could have a viable sexual harassment claim.
