What Is Sexual Harassment in Inglewood

Sexual harassment in Inglewood happens in the same places you go every day: event and stadium operations at SoFi Stadium (1001 S. Stadium Drive, Inglewood, CA 90301 - the largest stadium in the National Football League at 3.1 million square feet, home of the Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers and host of Super Bowl LVI in 2022) and the iconic Kia Forum (formerly The Forum); the under-construction Intuit Dome (home of the Los Angeles Clippers); patient floors at Centinela Hospital Medical Center (a Prime Healthcare Services hospital ranked among top hospitals nationally for clinical quality and patient safety); classrooms at the Inglewood Unified School District (IUSD); the City of Inglewood (City Hall open weekdays 7:30 am to 5:30 pm); and retail and hospitality workers throughout the city. The most common Inglewood pattern is unwanted touching, comments, or pressure from a supervisor, coworker, patient, or customer, followed by retaliation when the worker reports it.
