The document discusses the history and definitions of sexual harassment. It notes that sexual harassment was officially made illegal in the workplace by the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The EEOC has since established guidelines to prevent harassment. Victims can sue for damages under Title VII. Studies show sexual harassment is common, with over 80% of students knowing a victim.
