Sexual harassment is a huge issue, always has been and always will be. Within any type of work environment, there is some type of sexual harassment going on. However, most of the time people do not take action on these matters. In my opinion, sexual harassment should be taken more seriously than it is today. Most people, rather than solving the problem, they create drama within the work environment, talking to other employees about something that bothered them. This then puts the innocent employee in an awkward position, knowing the problem and not sure whether or not to do anything about the problem. I think that sexual harassment is so common that no one even notices it. As common as this issue is, it's most common with women being harassed by men, although it does happen the other way around. Everyone should be aware of this issue because this isn't something that someone should have to worry about in their everyday life. Hopefully people will always be able to look forward to work and enjoy being around their co-workers, even though in some cases it doesn't always end up this way.
"Harm caused by sexual harassment is often extreme, including humiliation, loss of dignity, psychological (and sometimes physical) injury, and damage to professional reputation and career.26 Inevitably, the victims face a choice between their work and their self-esteem. Sometimes, they face a choice between their jobs and their own safety." (quote linked)
