Speak Up!

Sarah, Minnesota
     I worked as a night manager for a store owned largely by my sister and her husband.  They owned 90% of the business, and the husband’s parents own the other 10%.  However, the parents have 100% governing rights over the business, so they had full say over what was done and not done.

Ashley, North Carolina
     I work for an oil company.  I had a customer that kept coming into my workplace for about a year.  He kept saying the most sexually explicit things to me and would come to my work and harass me for hours.  One day he spread my legs apart while saying these really sexually explicit comments.

     I am being stalked right now. I struck up a conversation with a co-worker and invited him to see a live band I love. He seemed lonely, but we connected with music. I introduced him to my friends and he seemed to be okay. I wouldn’t date him because he always bragged about fights [...]

Amber
     I’ve been working at my job for a little over a year, and since the second or third month that I’ve been working here I’ve been harassed by my boss.  I was blind to it at first.  It’s a small, private company and I am the only female working in the office.  It is [...]
