This script does not explain the Canadian Human Rights Act, which covers businesses and activities regulated by federal law. These include banks, airlines and airports, phone companies, and the federal government. If your case involves federal law, contact the Canadian Human Rights Commission at www.chrc-ccdp.ca or phone 1.888.214.1090. If you don’t know whether the Tribunal or the Commission is the right office, contact either of them – they can guide you.

The BC Human Rights Code protects people from sexual harassment in public services and in rental housing and employment situations. Everyone has the right to be free from sexual harassment in their job and in rental housing situations and services provided to the public generally. If sexual harassment is serious, it may be a crime under the Criminal Code of Canada – check script [[Stalking, Criminal Harassment and Cyberbullying (Script 206)|206]], called “Stalking, Criminal Harassment and Cyberbullying”. A victim may also be able to sue the person harassing them for damages.
