The most common example is that of a boss that abuses his position of power over an employee to make sexual advances at her, with the more thickly or thinly veiled threat that she will face issues at work if she does not accept the proposal.
People suffering from sexual harassment are under a very distressful situation which is difficult to bear, and which often leads to psychological problems and depressions caused by the despair of not knowing how to react to the situation.[/vc_column_text][mk_padding_divider size=”20″][mk_button_gradient dimension=”flat” size=”large” corner_style=”rounded” grandient_color_from=”#45b7d4″ grandient_color_to=”#45b7d4″ url=”https://patonyasociados.com/en/contact/” align=”center” el_class=”max400″]IN NEED OF A LAWYER WHO SPECIALISES IN CASES OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT?[/mk_button_gradient][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][mk_padding_divider][mk_custom_box background_hov_color_style=”image” elevation_effect=”true”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][mk_image src=”https://patonyasociados.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/p6-1.png” image_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”5/6″][mk_fancy_title size=”18″ font_family=”Ubuntu” font_type=”google”]WHAT TO DO IF…[/mk_fancy_title][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1569435040957{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Sexual harassers always leverage their victim’s fear to their advantage, because they know they have a position of power and can cause them great harm – for example, depriving them of their job and income.
That is why it’s important for any woman suffering from sexual harassment to speak out and tell her family and friends what she is going through, because the harasser has actually put himself in a position of weakness by committing a crime.
Although less frequent, there are cases where women sexually harass men. In these cases, the advice remains the same: respond to the situation by reporting it.[/vc_column_text][/mk_custom_box][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][mk_padding_divider][mk_custom_box elevation_effect=”true”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][mk_image src=”https://patonyasociados.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/p7.png” image_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”5/6″][mk_fancy_title size=”18″ font_family=”Ubuntu” font_type=”google”]EXAMPLES OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT[/mk_fancy_title][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][mk_fancy_title color=”#45b7d4″ size=”40″ font_weight=”bolder” margin_bottom=”0″ font_family=”none” align=”center”]1[/mk_fancy_title][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”5/6″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1569435061125{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]My university professor suggested I go to his office to go over some coursework I handed in.
