First, it is not entirely clear that the conduct you are complaining about is
actionable harassment. Bad language, in and of itself, is generally not enough to make out a claim.
Second, it is also not clear that the conduct which you are complaining about
is directed towards you because of your gender. If it is not, then you would
not generally have a claim.
Third, I would suggest that you complain to the Human Resource office of both
the temporary agency and the employer to which you are assigned. Both would
be considered your employer for purposes of harassment law.
Finally, if the conduct is something other than bad language; if it is being
directed towards you because of your gender; if you complain to the Human
Resource office and no corrective action is taken, you then might want to
consult with an attorney in the area in which you live.
