CHICAGO - The Illinois Department of Human Rights (IDHR) is releasing two new public service announcements (PSA’s). The PSAs aim to educate the public about sexual harassment and raise awareness of the state’s Sexual Harassment and Discrimination Helpline.
“The pervasive culture of sexual harassment needs to end,” said IDHR Director Janice Glenn. “These PSA’s further IDHR’s efforts to educate Illinoisans and end sexual harassment. They will let the public know what sexual harassment is, that it can be stopped and that victims should seek help.”
