From Lakraj Justice – Protecting Employees from Abuse of Power

No one should feel unsafe, uncomfortable, or intimidated at work. Yet sexual harassment remains one of the most underreported workplace violations. Many employees remain silent for fear of retaliation, embarrassment, or job loss.

At Lakraj Justice, we represent employees who are ready to stand up, and we protect them from employers who try to silence them.

What Qualifies as Sexual Harassment?

Sexual harassment is not limited to physical assault.

It can include:

• Unwanted sexual comments or jokes
• Inappropriate touching
• Requests for sexual favors
• Repeated unwanted flirting
• Sexual texts, emails, or messages
• Hostile comments about your gender
• Being promised promotions or threatened with termination in exchange for sexual favors

You do not have to endure repeated misconduct for it to be illegal. One severe incident can be enough.

Warning Signs Your Employer Is Failing You

Your employer has a legal duty to address harassment once it is reported.

Red flags include:

• HR is dismissing your complaint
• Being told to “ignore it” or “not make it a big deal.
• Being transferred instead of the harasser
• Facing discipline after reporting misconduct

If you reported harassment and your employer ignored it or punished you, that may be both harassment and retaliation.

What You Should Do

If you are experiencing harassment, it is important to take strategic steps to protect yourself. Begin by documenting everything, including dates, times, witnesses, and specific details of each incident. Save all related texts, emails, voicemails, or other communications that may serve as evidence. Follow your company’s reporting procedures and formally report the behavior so there is a record of your complaint.

Most importantly, speak with an experienced employment attorney before resigning. Quitting without understanding your legal rights could impact your ability to recover compensation, and you may be entitled to damages under the law.
