With 1 in 4 women experiencing sexual harassment in the workplace, it's important to know how to handle this type of situation. Areva recommends if you encounter workplace harassment to:
- Speak up - to either your boss/supervisor or a member of the human resources team
- Create a paper trail
- Consult with an attorney
"You have rights. Women often suffer in silence when we don't have to and it's so important to know that we do have rights. Stand up," Areva says.
