Sexual harassment is an unfortunate reality for many women in the American workplace.
But when a male colleague threatens their comfort and safety, these working women can fight back. They just need to be armed with information and the legal know-how to do it.
That's the cornerstone of an online resource called BetterBrave, which helps women take action against sexual harassment at work. The simple website, which launched in early July, breaks down U.S. laws regarding workplace harassment into easy-to-understand language, and provides resources for women who experience sexual intimidation at their jobs.
BetterBrave gives several options for women to report harassment, and it provides a clear outline of their rights. In the guide, readers can also learn what to do before reporting an incident to HR, why it's vital to consult an employment lawyer as soon as possible, and more.
