TORONTO, March 26, 2018 /CNW/ – The Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario awarded $75,000 to a 15 year old girl who was subjected to sexual harassment from her employer (a tattoo parlour). The Human Rights Legal Support Centre represented the strong young woman at a hearing before the Tribunal. The applicant, known by her initials as G.M, and the respondent are protected under a publication ban.
“For the first time throughout this whole process, I finally feel like the struggle was worth it,” said G.M. “This decision not only changed my life and provided me with a sense of justice, but it’s empowering to know this has impacted the fate of other victims. I hope it gives others the will to fight the battle that no person should ever have to face in the first place.”
