Abstract The Civil Rights Act is one of the most important pieces of legislation in American history. Title VII of Civil Rights Act prohibits employment discrimination based on sex, including sexual harassment in the workplace that has been interpreted by the US courts as one form of sex-based employment discrimination. Employers' liability is a core concept in the legal system against sexual harassment in the workplace in the USA. After many cases in which the American courts examined the victims' status, working conditions, and level of injury as well as whether or not the employers had reasons to rebut, the courts have developed strict vicarious liability, rebuttable vicarious liability and negligent liability on the part of employers. China should learn from the American experience in order to protect workers' rights against sexual harassment in the workplace.
