If you are a Victim of Sexual
Harassment…
Recognize sexual harassment when it happens. Understand that it is not your fault and that it neither "comes with the job" nor is "part of the educational process."
Don't ignore the offensive behavior. The behavior probably will not change if you ignore it without taking further action.
Council for the Restoration of Filipino Values
If you are a Victim of Sexual
Harassment…
One option is to talk to the harasser.
Tell him/her that you find the
behavior offensive.
Put your objections to the sexual
harassment in writing, send a letter
to the harasser, and keep a copy in
your file.
Council for the Restoration of Filipino Values
If you are a Victim of Sexual
Harassment…
Document all sexual harassment
incidents or conversations about the
incidents. Record the date, time,
place, people involved, and who said
what to whom. Consider keeping two
sets of your documentation for your
files.
Council for the Restoration of Filipino Values
If you are a Victim of Sexual
Harassment…
Don't encourage harassers by
smiling, laughing at their jokes, or
"flirting back.“
This type of response can lead a
harasser to mistakenly think you
enjoy this type of attention.
