    “It’s on Us”

    Unwanted sexual or gender-based conduct that interferes with an individual’s ability to perform or advance, especially at work, is unacceptable. Sexual harassment includes unwanted sexual advances or obscene remarks. Sexual assault and sexual harassment can be stopped and prevented.

    If you, or someone you know, is the victim of sexual assault or harassment in the workplace, act now and stop the abuse.

    “It’s on Us” to prevent sexual assault.
