Sexual harassment in the workplace is always illegal, no matter your gender or sexual orientation. Sexual harassment often occurs in two general forms, both of which have the ability to negatively impact victims’ lives and emotional wellbeing. 

Sexual harassment can come in the form of a workplace culture permeated with lewd and sexually explicit conversations creating a hostile work environment. It can also come in the form of supervisors offering employment opportunities and other favorable treatment in exchange for romantic or sexual interaction creating quid pro quo sexual harassment. In all instances, sexual harassment should be reported and employers must respond accordingly to prevent further harassment in the workplace.
