Kansas City Sexual Harassment Attorneys

Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination that violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Although there are more women in the workplace than ever before, sexual harassment continues to be a major issue; in fact, nearly one in three women aged 18 to 34 have been sexually harassed at work. As sexual harassment attorneys in Kansas City, we at Popham Law have spoken with hundreds of women who have experienced verbal harassment, encountered unwanted touching and sexual advances, or received lewd texts or emails, among other types of harassment.

Furthermore, we also know that there are countless women (and men) who are terrified of coming forward and holding their harassers responsible for their actions. It is frightening, especially with the prospect of job loss or, ultimately, losing a sexual harassment lawsuit.

This issue is legally and emotionally complex, and when reporting harassment, it is essential to have the top-rated Kansas City sexual harassment attorneys at your side. Call Popham Law today at (816) 221-2288, and in the meantime, you can find out more about sexual harassment below.

Examples of Sexual Harassment in the Workplace

Out of the thousands of individuals who have been sexually harassed in Kansas City and Missouri workplaces, very few ever report the wrongdoings. The fact is, many people don’t want to make their harassment a public issue via a civil lawsuit; others fear repercussions. There are also some people who don’t realize the behavior that they’re experiencing constitutes harassment. To better understand this situation in the workplace, it can help to look at some common examples of workplace harassment:

  • Pressure for sexual favors
  • Unwanted touching, cornering, pinching, etc
  • Unwanted communications (email, phone, text) of a sexual nature
  • Quid pro quo (exchanging something for a sexual favor)
  • Unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature that creates an intimidating, threatening or abusive working environment
  • Offensive comments about a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity

It is important to remember that, although co-workers contribute to the majority of sexual harassment cases, this form of harassment can occur from the management or even non-employees, such as clients or customers. Also, if management is not taking the proper, proactive steps to prevent harassment, then they may be liable as well.
