Sexual harassment

Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination that violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.

Like any other type of harassment, sexual harassment is a form of discrimination. To be illegal, harassment must be based on an individual’s membership in a protected class; and obviously sexual harassment is harassment based on sex.

Sexual harassment can include unwelcome sexual advances or requests for sexual favors. It can certainly be physical, but verbal remarks related to a person’s sex could also constitute sexual harassment.
