Officer faced sexualized comments, jokes — and even a forced kiss — from higher-ranking officers
Background
Traditionally male-dominated occupations have been in the spotlight in recent years for workplaces that aren’t always accepting of women. Police forces in particular have been exposed for their normalization of sexism and tolerance of sexual harassment. A female Toronto police officer faced this type of work environment and recently received $85,000 for a campaign of harassment that contributed to mental health issues and ended her career.
