Three Perspectives On Workplace Harassment Of Women Of Color, Maria L. Ontiveros
Three Perspectives On Workplace Harassment Of Women Of Color, Maria L. Ontiveros
Golden Gate University Law Review
In this address, I suggest a framework for understanding the ways in which issues of race and culture play a pivotal role in what we have thought of as "sexual harassment." This framework views an incident of workplace harassment from the perspectives of the three key players: the harasser, the victim and the judicial system.

Women Prisoners: Freedom From Sexual Harassment - A Constitutional Analysis, Laurie A. Hanson
Golden Gate University Law Review
Sexual harassment of female inmates by male guards permeates American prisons because the imbalance of power between the guard and the prisoner allows and encourages it to exist. Sexual harassment in prison is not a series of isolated incidents; rather, it is so much a part of the power structure that it is almost invisible. There are few reported cases of sexual harassment of women prisoners. Until recently sexual harassment, even outside the prison, went unnoticed. Also, if a prisoner reports sexual abuse, the prison administration will generally blame the prisoner, or deny the accusation, but only occasionally fire the …
