If you believe you are a victim of harassment, bias, or prejudice, your first need is to know what person you should confide in who would be qualified to help you understand and go through the process of resolving your difficult situation.
You will be best off if you have an accessible, trustworthy institutional infrastructure in place for dealing with inappropriate behavior. The exact nature of the infrastructure varies among institutions; but it starts with leadership from the top person in every unit, for example the university president, the dean, the department chair, and the research group leader.
A good "safety net” structure also includes a reliable system for reporting and addressing problems before they escalate; an institutional "enforcer” who is widely known to mean business; and trainings and frequent publicity about the consequences of such behavior.
The components of a good structure, as well as some alternative routes to take if you don't have such a system, will be described in the contexts of different types of institutions; and you will learn the criteria for prohibited behaviors. There will be time for analysis and discussion of scenarios taken from real incidents, altered to protect privacy.
