Report it via the established procedure of your company. If they do not have an established procedure, go see your local (in USA it's county) for guidance via established labor laws. If this gets you nowhere, be prepared to quit No one deserves to be harrassed.

First of all, get help. You're not alone. Second, if it gets dangerous, call 911 immediately. It's not your fault.

Face up to the person who is harassing you. Say it once and say it bold and out loud that you don't wish to be the recipient of the abuse. I know it's hard to stand up to it, but it's the only way of letting the attacker know that they can't get through you. If it continues, talk to the management about it. I'm sure they'll take your complaint seriously. I hope it turns out well for you. :)

The best way to stop harassment at work is to talk about it. You have to be strong and confront the person harassing you and report them.

Please report the abuse to the higher authority that can assist u. Make sure that the person is corrected for what he or she has done and that the person faces the punishment that he/she deserves.

Recognize that is it unacceptable to be disrespected in the work environment. Understand that you are there to do a job, and anyone who stands in the way of your pay should be move over. The best thing to do is to tell a supervisor, or boss, and file a report.

Speak with your supervisor, if that does not work go higher up the chain. No one deserves to be harassed. Even if it is someone above you, remember it is never ok.

Well, iI suggest you to learn about the pssibilities by asking opinions of other people that wrk with you. And then just trying to answer to yourself, what can you change to make yourself feel better. If the abuse is inevitable at your work, and it makes you feel really bad, that means you probably should make a right decision. And it may be difficult sometimes, to make changes like thatr in your life. But as soon as you ready to do something about it, it is worth it. The other possible options would be working and accepting how badly you are treated or fighting agaist it, which is not always a safest option, you know. So all I want to wish is good luck with deciding what do you want and then thinking about how would you make it happen
