If you’ve experienced sexual harassment, you are not alone—and the law is on your side.
Understanding Sexual Harassment Under Georgia and Federal Law
Sexual harassment is a form of discrimination prohibited by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Georgia state law. It occurs when unwanted sexual behavior, comments, or advances create a hostile or intimidating environment, or when job benefits are conditioned on sexual favors.
Examples include:
Unwelcome sexual advances or propositions
Inappropriate touching, groping, or leering
Sexually explicit comments, jokes, or gestures
Offensive texts, emails, or social media messages
Display of sexual materials at work
“Quid pro quo” harassment—offering or withholding promotions or benefits for sexual compliance
Retaliation—punishing someone for reporting or resisting harassment
Sexual harassment is never acceptable, regardless of gender, role, or background.
Types of Sexual Harassment Claims
Most cases fall into one of two categories recognized by the EEOC and Georgia courts:
Quid Pro Quo Harassment
Occurs when a supervisor or person in authority demands sexual favors in exchange for promotions, raises, or continued employment.
Examples include:
“If you go out with me, I’ll make sure you get that raise.”
Threatening demotion or termination for rejecting advances.
Hostile Work Environment
Happens when repeated sexual conduct, comments, or actions create an intimidating or offensive work environment. This can come from supervisors, coworkers, or even customers—and is illegal when it interferes with your ability to do your job.
What to Do If You’ve Experienced Sexual Harassment
Taking action can be difficult—but your voice matters. These steps help protect your rights and strengthen your case:
Document everything. Write down dates, times, witnesses, and details.
Save all evidence. Keep emails, texts, photos, or messages.
Report the behavior internally (if safe to do so). Follow HR procedures.
Avoid retaliation traps. Employers cannot legally punish you for speaking up.
Seek emotional support from trusted friends or professionals.
