Where can you go to file any sexual assault/harassment complaint?

Filing a workplace sexual harassment complaint is handled through the EEOC or your agency’s human resources department. The EEOC enforces federal civil rights laws that protect employees from discrimination and harassment, and HR can oversee an internal investigation and take corrective action within the organization. The other options aren’t appropriate venues for internal workplace harassment: the FBI, DOJ, or city police focus on criminal investigations and law enforcement, not civil rights complaints within an employer. If the conduct also constitutes a crime, you would report it to police, but for workplace harassment specifically, EEOC or HR is the proper path.
