Women in the workplace the problem of sexual harassment 1990 Sexual harassment is increasingly becoming a problem for women in their places of work. It is an old problem but it took a landmark decision in a United States court, Meritor Savings Bank vs. Vinson, to bring it out into the open. That case defined the key determinants of a sexual harassment offense Up until this case, it was difficult to determine what constitutes sexual harassment and an accused party could always claim that his relationship with a victim was "consensual." Sexual harassment involves a power relationship in which the harasser has the ability to apply some sanction on his intended victim, usually a woman under his authority. The typical situation revolves arounda male professor and a female undergraduate student. Although men as well as women are sexually harassed, 95percent of reported cases involve males harassing females of lesser power. In the Philippines, the problem is seen as pervasive although no systematic documentation exists. Women's groups are working towards setting up institutions to develop sexual harassment policies.
