Harassment isn’t always loud or obvious. It can look like being called “sweetheart,” being stared at, or being asked personal questions like, “Are you single?” Actions, statements or gestures that make you feel uncomfortable, unsafe, disrespected or that you do not belong at VA, are harassment.

If it feels wrong, it probably is. And we’re here to help stop it.
