There are ways of stopping attacks of sexual harassment, either by yourself or
with the help of workmates, authorities and by eventually filing a lawsuit. The
following ways of reporting sexual harassment incidents may not ideally be in
the order as were going to present it in actual reality. You shall have to
discover for yourself the best move to compensate for the violation of your
rights. And to totally stop the unwanted sexual advances being done to
you.Common scenario of sexual harassment is at the workplace. At the very first
signs of unwanted sexual advances toward you, try stopping it by directly
confronting the person. If this isnt successful, go to your supervisor or human
resources department for assistance. There may be several informal and formal
actions that will be suggested for you and the company could do. These options
range from contacting your unit or department and informing them of your
complaint but keeping you anonymous, sending a letter to your harasser, or
speaking directly to them to inform them that their behaviors violate the
company policy and the federal law. He may also need to be informed that
retaliation is not the way to solve his problem.You might also be asked by the
person-in-charge if you agree to an arrangement for a carefully prepared meeting
between you and the harasser. This confrontation may help you to confront the
issue. You may also be able to work out some sort of resolution. f you do not
want to, however, theres no law mandating such king of meeting. Another way of
confronting sexual harassment head-on is by having mediation proceedings.
Traditional mediation, however, should be used with great care as this form is
not always appropriate. First of all, ensure that the mediator is has ample
training and experience, you must have an objective for the mediation and let
the, describe in detail the process to unfold. If you really do not want to see
your harasser personally, then the mediator may talk to you and your harasser
separately, going back and forth.Filing a formal complaint with your employer
may also be another option if you feel that your problem was not taken
seriously. But you must first know the policies involved and how it operates.
You might do this by asking someone who have also undergone such procedures.
Inquire in advance in order that you and the accused have the same rights and
access to information, time frames and the length of time necessary to resolve
the problem. Confirm also some oral communications by writing by giving the
person who informed you with a written communication.If these informal methods
come to no avail, it may be time to want your harasser be punished by filing a
lawsuit. Consult with an attorney that has experience in handling sexual
harassment cases or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Your
states anti-discrimination agency might also be able to help you. -30- About
