Examples of Sexual Harassment
Unlawful sexual harassment can take many different forms. Some examples of sexual harassment provided by the New York Division of Human Rights include the following:
- Request for sexual favors, which can be accompanied by threats if you fail to comply (such as termination from your job or a demotion, for example);
- Obvious pressure for unwelcome sexual activities;
- Subtle pressure for unwelcome sexual activities;
- Verbal harassment that takes the form of sexual comments or comments about a person’s sex;
- Inappropriate physical contact; or
- Displaying lewd images.
As the New York Division of Human Rights explains, these examples can constitute unlawful harassment under the New York State Human Rights law and Title VII when one of the following is true:
- Submitting to sexual conduct is a term or condition of your employment (which is made clear either explicitly or implicitly);
- Submitting to the sexual conduct or behavior, or rejecting it, is used as a basis of an employment action (including promotion, demotion, or termination);
- Sexual conduct or behavior interferes with your work performance; or
- Sexual conduct or behavior creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment.
