In 1993, the American Library Association, American Women in Radio and Television, and Capital Cities/ABC, Inc. joined forces to launch a campaign against sexual harassment in the workplace. It began when several men and women at ABC were troubled by the lack of resources available to the public on the topic of sexual harassment so they produced a 30-second PSA. The announcement explored what sexual harassment is and directed viewers to their local public library to read the “Stop Sexual Harassment” resource booklet.
