What Is Sexual Harassment?

Sexual harassment is a form of gender discrimination. It is one of the most common forms of workplace harassment. For example, the following actions can be sexual harassment:

• Lewd or sexual comments
• Unwelcome sexual advances
• Requests for sexual relations
• Unwelcome touching
• Sexually explicit material in the workplace

Although sexual harassment can be sexual in nature, it does not have to be. Sexual harassment can also include actions and behavior based on gender stereotypes, gender bias, chauvinism, or other actions due to the fact that you are a woman or a man. Anything that is particularly offensive to one gender, or is directed at you because of your gender, potentially can contribute to a sexually hostile work environment.

What Is "Quid Pro Quo" Sexual Harassment?

Quid pro quo sexual harassment occurs when an employer attempts to make submission to a sexual demand a condition of employment. For example, you may have a claim for quid pro quo sexual harassment if your employer makes you feel as if you must give into sexual advances to keep your job, advance in the company, or avoid discipline, a demotion, or other negative consequences.
