Sexual harassment is a form of employment discrimination
Sexual harassment is really discrimination involving harassment because of another's gender. It can take many forms, including:
- Rape and sexual assault at work
- Constant solicitations, even joking ones
- Requests for sexual favors in return for promotion or better working conditions, or a quid pro quo
- Demotion or termination when sexual favors are denied
- Unwelcome flirting
- Offensive emails
- Graphic or sexualized atmosphere
- Permitting offensive behavior by other employees to continue after complaints
