In 2002, my boss screamed at me and then hit my arm in fury.

19. Zero Tolerance Starts with Us

When someone in a position of power "especially an attorney or a judge" assaults you, they have just handed you their power - that is huge.

Please use this power so future women and men do not experience these life changing situations. This is a "Main Street" issue and affects millions of men and women everyday; it hampers your ability to make money for your family, it robs your trust, your mental health amongst a litany of other problems.

The only way to fight is through lawsuits - I know I am sounding like a broken record, but it works! Can you imagine the look on your abusers face when he/she gets served or when the police show up to investigate. How about the look on your face when you see a $200,000+/- check in the mail from your predatory - that is power! When you get a new job and you are harassed again......do it again, there is no limit on how many times you can sue predators.

How To:

Please video or audio tape the sexual harassment or discrimination using a "nanny cam" in your office or a device on your persons; it sounds extreme, but this will give you power. Don't let these predators win.

We need to continue to hold CEO, partners, politicians, supervisors, clergy, co-workers, etc. accountable.

Give your tapes to an attorney, it will cost you nothing for a consultation; these cases are usually not a he says/ she says situation, their are emails, texts, photos, tapes, admissions, etc and are cut and dry. The vast majority of attorneys get paid only if you win the lawsuit and the vast majority will settle out of court with a very sizable settlement.
