Sexual harassment, identified as a form of sex discrimination, is strictly prohibited under the Delaware Discrimination in Employment Act (DDEA), applicable to employers with a workforce of 4 or more employees, including state and local governments, employment agencies, and labor organizations. Prevention is emphasized, urging employers to communicate a zero-tolerance stance on sexual harassment, provide comprehensive training, establish effective complaint procedures, and promptly address concerns. Retaliation against those opposing discriminatory practices or participating in investigations is expressly prohibited under the DDEA, reinforcing the commitment to fostering safe and respectful workplaces.
