Hill Urges More Work Against Sexual Harassment in America
Anita V. Hill, in a speech to about 350 people at Harvard Law School, urged Americans, especially law students, to work harder to address sexual harassment issues in the country. Hill, known for her 1991 Senate Judiciary Committee testimony accusing Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of harassment, highlighted the increased awareness and reporting of sexual harassment, noting a 60% rise in Equal Employment Opportunity complaints. She emphasized the importance of women sharing their experiences and the need for more lawyers to represent harassment victims. Hill encouraged law students to take on pro bono work in this area and advocated for educating boys early to prevent future harassment.| Creator |
