How Common is Sexual Harassment?
Sexual harassment is common throughout workplaces and campuses, in all occupations and professions, educational backgrounds, age, racial and ethnic groups, and income levels.
While the majority of reported cases of sexual harassment involve a male harassing a female, such cases can also involve a female harassing a male or either men or women harassing members of their own sex.
In 2006, the EEOC received 12,025 complaints at the Federal level about sexual harassment, 15.4% of which were filed by males.
