1.

No, I don't agree with the statement mentioned above. The employer and the organization should always be liable for sexual harassment activities within the working environment. An employer must be responsible for providing a hostile work environment to his employees according to the law governed by the US Supreme Court.

If the employer is aware of the offensive and sexual misconduct that any of the employees did to others within the workplace, then he must take lawful actions against the guilty person. If employers fail to conduct any legal operations, then the government has the authority to punish that employer or organization. In that case, the law does not really bother who does the harassment acts.

According to the law, all the organizations must play the duty to make the working environment hostile and maintain equity. There must be a strong legislative regulation against sexual harassment and other discriminatory acts within the organization.

Employers and organizations should facilitate all the protective policies within the workplace to prevent any kind of sexual harassment. The human resource of the organization must take strong actions against the persons who are involved in sexual harassment activities.
