Introduction
Women, today, have a lot more influence than in the past, particularly in the workplace. There have been enormous strides taken to ensure women are treated fairly and no longer discriminated against. While there are still many differences between men and women’s role in the workplace, women are making more of an impression than ever before. Unfortunately, with the number of workingwomen on the rise, sexual harassment has become a major issue. This is a very important issue because women are starting to gain more respect in the workplace and their roles are changing as well. Who would have thought 50 years ago that it would be possible for women to play professional sports, be elected into political office and run worldwide corporations? Women have had many trials and tribulations to endure and sexual harassment is now one of them. While harassment occurs for both men and women, women employees file the majority of the filed suits. As women gain more ground within the workplace, sexual harassment needs to be addressed and taken very seriously. Within this paper, I will demonstrate the past trends and the current trends of whether sexual harassment suits have declined with the increase in EEOC regulations. Not only does the EEOC encourage and enable everyone to be fairly employed, but they are also in charge of employee complaints or lawsuits, such as sexual harassment.
