Dealing with Sexual Harassment If you feel you are a victim of sexual harassment, the following may prove helpful: * Unless the harassment has crossed the line from innuendos and leers to physical contact or verbal suggestions, telling the offender their behavior is unprofessional, unwanted, and out of line may be all that is required. You may feel more comfortable having a friend with you when you make the announcement. This lets the offender know you are serious about your request, and that you have discussed their inappropriate behavior with others. * A letter can be sent to the offender demanding the behavior stop; include documentation that deals with sexual harassment and outlines penalties under law. * If you verbally confront the offender, make sure it doesn’t come off as a request. By DEMANDING the behavior stop IMMEDIATELY, you will seem less vulnerable; less of a victim, more in control. * If the offender is employed by a company, write an official complaint to their employer; or telephone to discuss the situation with them. * If the offender is self-employed, threaten to report them to the BBB or another organization that protects consumer rights and helps to ensure service providers adhere to legitimate business practices. my building, for uilder online, Best Builder, My London builder, my London decorator, my Home project, my First home, my Second home, my first decorators, my Martin home, my Builder in Britain, abc for builders, my home project, it's first home, our second home, uk decorators, uk home builder, the builder, Builder board, GB-uk builders, Build home, how to builders, If these suggestions fail to stop the offensive behavior, contact the authorities and file a formal complaint.
