A NATION-LEADING ANTI-SEXUAL HARASSMENT AGENDA
Governor Cuomo and New York State are leading the nation with new laws to combat sexual harassment in the workplace. On August 12, 2019, Governor Cuomo signed legislation that strengthened protections against discrimination and harassment under the New York State Human Rights Law. These protections supplement the laws that the Governor signed in April 2019 as part of his 2019 Women's Agenda.
New Protections from Harassment
The Human Rights Law now protects victims of harassment, including sexual harassment, in important new ways such as ensuring that harassment does not need to be severe or pervasive to be against the law.
Cuomo says he was joking.
