Sexual Harassment Can Affect Anyone
Anyone can potentially be the victim of sexual harassment, regardless of their sex or their position in their company. While it most commonly involves men harassing women, the reverse can also happen from time to time, as can same-sex harassment. Regardless of who is doing it and to whom, it is illegal.
The Costs of Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment can have severe consequences for victims, both personally and professionally. This is especially true if the harasser holds a position of authority over their victim. These include, but are not limited to:
- Worse job performance due to increased stress
- Problems caused due to avoiding harasser
- Retaliation from harasser or other coworkers
- Increased risk of psychological issues
- Denied opportunities for raises or promotions
