Sexual harassment at the workplace is illegal. While the majority of sexual harassment claims are reported by women, the number of men making complaints is growing. The Civil Rights Act prohibits sexual harassment and defines it as unwanted sexual advances, either verbal or physical. This might include gestures, questions or comments as well. Sexual harassment at the workplace is often reported to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Individuals who are the victims of sexual harassment in the workplace should consider hiring a sexual harassment attorney to help them fight for their rights and seek compensation and justice. An attorney can help victims determine what to do next and how best to protect thier interests.
