The Multidimensional Nature of Sexual Harassment

An Empirical Analysis of Women's Sexual Harassment Complaints

SANDY WELSH

University of Toronto

Little information is available concerning women's formal complaints of sexual harassment. Using data from sexual harassment complaints lodged with the Canadian Human Rights Commission between 1978 and 1993, this research attempts to address two concerns: (a) What types of sexual harassment behaviors are experienced by women complainants? and (b) Are these experiences of sexual harassment characterized by isolated or multidimensional incidents? The research shows that women complainants experience a range of behaviors, with quid pro quo harassment occurring in only 14% of the complaints. Complaints are also found to have a multidimensional nature and can be characterized as either containing poisoned environment harassment or quid pro quo sexual behaviors.
