Sexual harassment is a hard topic to talk about, but now more women are speaking out against it.

It comes following recent allegations made against former CBC radio host Jian Ghomeshi.

First, women began posting the hashtag #beenrapedneverreported on Twitter, and then the discussion grew.

"It's insulting. It's discouraging. It makes you question if you're overreacting. It makes you question if maybe everyone else is right and you're wrong,” said a Winnipeg woman. She can’t be identified because of a settlement with a restaurant she worked for previously. She said it was six years ago when sexual harassment began at her workplace.

"One manager was very derogatory in his comments, and referenced rape a lot, to myself and a lot of the younger girls that were working there,” she said.

The woman addressed that manager, and things got worse. She then contacted another manager, where again problems increased. After contacting her general manager, who didn’t reply to her complaint, the woman contacted head office and the situation was rectified in just weeks.

The manager was fired, other employees apologized to the woman, and nation-wide sexual harassment policy was changed at that company.

Rob Olson, a partner at Thompson Dorfman Sweatman LLP, said that type of change can happen.

"It's not uncommon that they had to wholesale change all of their policies. That does happen from time to time, but it's good that that happens as well," he said.

He says everyone has a different threshold for harassment.

“So, the goal of harassment legislation - what have you is to keep it down to a level of zero, err on the side of caution,” he said.

After nearly six months dealing with issues at her former workplace, the woman who spoke to CTV feels things were finally properly dealt with.

"It's well worth going to the right people, and it's hard, but in the end, you don't want to be the ones left feeling the way they want you to feel,” said the woman.
