“Title VII prohibits employers from discriminating against individuals ‘because of such individual’s race, color, religion, sex, or national origin....’” Ramos-Echevarría v. Pichis, Inc., 659 F.3d 182, 186 n. 5 (1st Cir.2011)) (quoting 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-2(a)(1)). “Requiring a person ‘to work in a discriminatorily hostile or abusive environment’ violates Title VII.” Gerald v. Univ. of P.R., 707 F.3d 7, 17 (1st Cir.2013) (quoting Valentin-Almeyda v. Mun’y of Aguadillo, 447 F.3d 85, 94 (1st Cir.2006)); citing Harris v. Forklift Sys., Inc., 510 U.S. 17, 21, 114 S.Ct. 367, 126 L.Ed.2d 295 (1993)). Title VII is violated “[w]hen the workplace is permeated with discriminatory intimidation, ridicule, and insult that is sufficiently severe or pervasive to alter the conditions of the victim’s employment and create an abusive working environment.” Torres-Negrón v. Merck & Co., 488 F.3d 34, 39 (1st Cir.2007) (quoting Harris, 510 U.S. at 21, 114 S.Ct. 367).
