Why does sexual harassment continue to be a problem in the workplace? Do employers have an advantage in the courts when victims file complaints? This article explores these questions by analyzing court cases, an interview with a litigant, Equal EmploymentOpportunity Commission statistics, andMerit Systems Protection Board studies. The results of this analysis suggest practical strategies for improving compliance with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Although complaint processes and litigation might serve as deterrents, employers have an advantage so victims have been reluctant to file formal complaints. Women have a disadvantage in the courts because fewwomen serve on the bench, however the number of female judges is likely to increase in the future. Also, agencies need to open and legitimize the process by establishing informal aswell as formal complaint processes and networks of impartial counselors and investigators who are qualified to hear complaints.
