Findings and purpose (a) Findings Congress finds the following: (1) Discrimination and harassment are widespread problems in workplaces in the United States.

In 2016, 83.4 percent of sexual harassment charges were filed by women. (2) Women and people of color working in low-wage jobs are particularly vulnerable to harassment in the workplace. (3) In some industries, harassment is even more widespread.
