Sexual Harassment

• Do any of the following scenarios involve sexual harassment?

• If so, identify what elements of the situation make it sexual harassment. Who is doing the

harassing and who is being harassed?

• What should be done to remedy the situation?

• If not, identify what the situation is lacking. In other words, what would need to be

changed for the situation to constitute sexual harassment? What could have been done

to prevent the situation? What can be done to remedy the situation now?

1. Lucy works on the assembly line at an auto parts factory. She eats lunch in the company break

room every day. Because most of the workers are men, the walls of the break room are adorned

with swimsuit pictures of women. Although the photos and the conversations they generate

make her very uncomfortable, Lucy doesn’t complain to her supervisor. Eventually she starts

skipping lunch to avoid the atmosphere in the break room. As a result, she begins to have

trouble staying alert on the line.

Sexual harassment refers to any unwanted conduct of sexual nature, which results to

violation of one’s dignity (Williams, 2017). It involves conversations, advances, remarks or signs

that are sexual in nature and that lead to a hostile, intimidating, or degrading situation. Any

unwelcome advances and requests for sex amount to sexual harassment. The above case

involving lucy amounts to sexual harassment. The sexual conversations by the male workers

make Lucy uncomfortable and that amounts to sexual harassment. The male workers are

responsible for harassment while Lucy is the victim. To remedy the situation, the pictures on the

wall depicting women should be removed and the male workers should be barred from holding

such conversations in the break room.

2. Dave’s boss, Ms. Andrews, consistently compliments him on his clothes, his hair, and his

muscular body, although she does not make similar comments to the rest of her staff. Dave finds

her attentions both flattering and unnerving.
