Sexual Harassment Training Materials

 

 

The Chicago Commission on Human Relations (CCHR) is charged with enforcing the Chicago Human Rights Ordinance and the Chicago Fair Housing Ordinance. The Commission investigates complaints to determine whether discrimination may have occurred, and uses its enforcement powers to punish acts of discrimination. Under the City's Hate Crimes Law, the agency aids hate crime victims. CCHR also employs proactive programs of education, intervention, and constituency building to discourage bigotry and bring people from different groups together. We developed two open trainings regarding Sexual Harassment Prevention Training. The first was developed for managers and employees of the organizations located in Chicago and the Bystander training, for managers, employees and citizens in general.
