Which cases sexual harassment in the work place as a violation of human right?
Answers
In Illinois, most sexual harassment cases can be resolved by the state’s Department of Human Rights (IDHR). This government agency performs the intake, investigation, and adjudication of employment conflicts that involve the Illinois Human Rights Act (IHRA), which you can find at 775 ILCS 5/1-101. Filing your “Charge” with the IDHR is the first, necessary step in bringing a claim for sexual harassment against your current or former employer.
Under the IHRA, sexual harassment consists of:
Unwelcome sexual advances
Requests for sexual favors
Any conduct of a sexual nature that significantly affects or conditions your ability to obtain or retain employment, or that creates a hostile working environment.
