What is Sexual Assault?
Sexual Assault is an umbrella term used to describe hostile, mocking, or hurtful words, comments, gestures, or actions that target individuals of a certain gender identity, age, sexuality, body type, or fertility status. Oftentimes, victims fall into one or more of the following groups:
- Women or feminine-presenting people
- LGBTQIA+
- Pregnant people
- Middle-aged or older people
Although sexual assault claims have been used historically to protect women in the workplace, it’s important to note that anyone can be a victim of sexual harassment, even cisgendered, straight men.
If your employer is not helping you through a sexual assault issue at your workplace, you have other options. Let our sexual harassment attorneys show your abuser you mean business.
