An Increase In Sexual Harassment Complaints In Idaho

NPR/Damian Dovarganes/AP

The Idaho Human Rights Commission has reported a noticable spike in sexual harassment claims and much of the attribution to the increase in reporting goes to the #MeToo movement and the empowerment and support it has given to women in the workplace.

Idaho Matters examines this uptick with Benjamin Earwicker, director of Idaho's HRC and Annie Pelletier Hightower, director of law and policy with the Idaho Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence.
