Sexual Harassment: Your Rights
If you have been—or are being—sexually harassed...
You have several options:
Write a letter to the harasser that delineates the offenses and states clearly that the behavior must cease.
File a grievance with your supervisor (assuming he/she isn't the harasser).
File a grievance with
UVa' s Office of Equal Opportunity Programs.
File a grievance with a
regional Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) office
or the
national office
.
Hire an attorney who specializes in employee issues, specifically harassment. For referrals to local attorneys, call the Women's Center Information and Referral Helpline at 982-2361.
