FEHA and Sexual Harassment in Los Angeles

In everyday life there are plenty of women who suffer a lot of problems during their jobs in their office by their colleagues and their boss by being sexual harassed and because of that they had to leave their jobs. This issue is an unstoppable one as the nature of man never changes and they somehow can’t maintain the decorum and make the female staff in their office insecure and uncomfortable. Los Angeles is one of the busy cities in United States where people want to live their life with their own will and freedom and there are some people who are there for only fun and they get into these kind of issues.

The issue of sexual harassment is intolerable and they cause a lot of trouble to women who are from poor family background and who got responsibilities in their hands, but they have to suffer no more, because in California the law was imposed which is called FEHA (Fair Employment and housing act), this law was imposed by the government to stop the discrimination among the people and specially for women who are the victims of sexual harassment.

There are a lot of employees who take advantage of their employer’s poor conditions and they force them into this act by blackmailing them with their job’s position, and employers get into a useless condition, but FEHA help these types f employers in such a way that they just have to file a complaint to the FEHA about their situations and they get safe with their jobs and the employee is fined, and the amount of money that is fined is given to the victim who suffers from it after certain type periods in installments.

Women who fail to file their complaint for such an act get into a serious liability problems and they just keep suffering from sexual harassment. To prevent such type of acts there are many organizations who are connected with FEHA and they just put this law in their policy, and follow this strictly to maintain the reputation of the organization, and the victims who wants to prevent this kind of act they are required to tell their employers that they won’t tolerate such type of behavior otherwise the strong actions will be taken against them.
