WHO'S GOT THEIR EYES CLOSED ON THIS ONE?

Sexual harassment is a pervasive problem in the workplace. It can take the form of unwanted advances, requests for sexual favors, inappropriate touching, or sexual innuendos and jokes. You may be discriminated against or treated unfairly because of your gender. Sometimes sexual harassment is so severe or pervasive that it creates a hostile, abusive work environment for the employee – which can detrimentally affect your performance at work and even hurt your chances for a promotion.    Sexual harassment is a pervasive problem in the workplace.

Quid Pro Quo
Quid Pro Quo is Latin for “something for another.” This type of harassment occurs when a person in a position of power demands sexual favors in exchange for job advancement or for the employee keeping her/his position within the company. While being the easiest to prove, it is less common.

The practice of sexual harassment is centuries old—at least, if we define

sexual harassment as unwanted sexual relations imposed by superiors on sub-

ordinates at work. For example, sexual coercion was an entrenched feature of

chattel slavery endured by African-American women without protection of

law.

While there were crucial differences in the situation of free women em-

ployed in domestic service, they, too, commonly faced sexual advances by men

of the households in which they worked.

Surviving accounts of women em-

ployed in manufacturing and clerical positions in the late nineteenth and early

twentieth centuries also point to a variety of contexts in which men imposed

sexual relations—ranging from assault to all manner of unwanted physical or

verbal advances—on women who worked for them.
