Sexual Harassment Stories and Experiences

Sydni, Tennessee
     I was a new assistant district attorney.  I thought  I had been hired for my skills potential. 
     After working a while, I noticed the boss had an particular interest in me.  He held my chair at  meetings and singled me out for attention.  I was the “golden girl” who could  do no wrong. 
     My […]

Chip, Kansas
     A while ago, I was hired at a company that supplies wires for aircraft.  The supervisor who interviewed me knew that a  fellow employee had recommended me based upon his  knowledge of my work ethic.
     On my fifth day of employment, I was approached by this supervisor.  He stated that him and a fellow employee were going to […]

Kelly, Wisconsin   
     I had just started working at a bar about a month before.
     I had only worked two shifts and therefore I had only met the manager and two of the other bartenders.  There was a staff meeting one Saturday afternoon to introduce all three of the new employees.  This was the first time that […]

     When I was a sophomore in High School, two guys whom I thought were my friends began making comments about my figure and how I was just really gorgeous. 
     I was like, “Thanks for the compliments.” 
     But then the next day they both came up to me and started grabbing my breasts and other inappropriate places.

     I am a female Emergency Department physician.  I became friends with a coworker, a female Nurse Practitioner employed by the same medical staffing service for which I work.

     I went to work for a Native American gaming resort.  I  was assaulted by my boss then fired when I didn’t submit to him. This is from my attorney:
My lady client in particular has an incredible story to tell….she went on a business trip with a team from *******.  The head of Human Resources […]

     My daughter is being harassed at school by two classmates (she’s a sophomore in high school). 
     She has been groped on the behind, and one boy shoved her into the lap of another.  When this happened the other boy started “grinding” on her and moaning. 
     We have reported this to the school administrator, […]

Christina, Illinois    
     I was a recruiter for the National Guard for almost 3 years. I always carried myself with a level of dignity and self-respect, mostly to deter the Army’s perverts from approaching me. I was never a “sweetheart” and frequently counseled young female soldiers on the dangers of trying too hard to be liked, […]

Monica, Midwest USA   
     My boss approached me asking if I was single, stating it  was ok to mess around even if I was not.  I dismissed his charges, and  then was sanctioned twice for issues I had with the computer system, which were not my fault at work over the next two weeks.  My boss refused  […]

 Nickii, New York   
     I’m an educator. What really disturbs me is my employers didn’t believe one woman when she filed a complaint against the man who later harassed me.  Then after she left, I was assigned to work with the harasser. My employer put me in a  terrible position, I feel.
     It only took him 1 […]
