Gender sexual harassment takes place when someone in a position of authority makes a decision based on one's gender. An example of gender sexual harassment would be if a gym didn't hire a woman because their customers were primarily women and they believed men would draw a better crowd. Gender discrimination is against the law and prohibited by the Civil Rights Act, Title VII. For individuals who feel they are victims of gender sexual harassment, an attorney can be a valuable asset. He or she can explain the intricacies of gender sexual harassment to the client and help him or her determine what moves to make next.
