Despite the strides that have been made to ensure that every individual is treated fairly in employment, housing, and other areas, the playing field is still not level. The unfortunate fact is that many people face discrimination and harassment as a part of their everyday life. Discrimination may be as blatant as firing you because of your sexual orientation, or as subtle as withholding job responsibilities required for future promotions.

What defines harassment?

Harassment does not have to come directly from supervisors, managers, landlords, teachers, or others in positions of authority. If peers such as co-workers, neighbors, or classmates engage in harassing or discriminatory behavior, you may have a valid claim if management fails to put a stop to their behavior.
