May Is Sexual Harassment Awareness Month

LOS ANGELES, May 2, 2017 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- In an effort to promote awareness for Sexual Harassment Awareness month, Strong Advocates is inviting the public to ask their legal team questions about sexual harassment. They will post answers on their live blog throughout the month of May. To protect people's privacy, all questions will be posted anonymously. 

Sexual harassment in the workplace — though widespread — often goes unreported. While the reasons many sexual harassment victims remain silent vary, it is common for victims to not know that the offensive behavior is illegal. Victims may be hesitant to speak out if they are concerned about the possible ramifications of filing a complaint, or they may not know how to file a claim. 

Sexual Harassment Awareness month is about prevention, promoting awareness and helping those who have been impacted by sexual harassment in the workplace by offering the information they need to assert their rights. It is a time for questions, answers and creating an atmosphere of support. 

"Sexual harassment is a serious problem. We want people to be empowered to speak out as soon as it occurs" says Strong Advocates Executive Director, Betsy Havens. "We hope that our anonymous online forum can arm individuals with helpful answers and their legal rights." 

This is an excellent opportunity for victims or loved ones to ask questions they might have about sexual harassment. Questions might include specific situations, experiences, legal definitions, deadlines, advice or any other queries. Strong Advocates hopes to provide useful information to those who need it, while respecting the privacy of those who participate.   

To ask a question, visit https://www.strongadvocates.com/sexual-harassment-awareness-month/. The legal team will answer your question on their website, Twitter, and Facebook.
