A sexual harassment complaint can be made with an employer, dean, or other authority. If the situation is bad enough, individuals can file a complaint with the EEOC, or Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Certain steps should be followed, such as documenting the incidences, keeping proof, obtaining witnesses, etc. This will help the victim have a stronger case. Sexual harassment is illegal and victims are protected by the Civil Rights Act of 1963 as well as the policies of the company or school they are attending. Any victim of sexual harassment should consider speaking with a sexual harassment attorney as well as filing a complaint. An attorney can better explain the rights of victims as well as their options. They can also help the victim take action against their harassers if they wish.
