Sexual Harassment Prevention

At its core, sexual harassment is unwanted behavior or contact. This behavior can be physical or verbal in nature, broad or individualized, and may happen in plain sight or behind closed doors. Harassment can include “sexual harassment” or unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical harassment of a sexual nature.

Harassment does not have to be of a sexual nature; however, and can include offensive remarks about a person’s sex. For example, it is illegal to harass a woman by making offensive comments about women in general. Harassers can likewise be male or female. The impact sexual harassment has on its victims can be devastating, both professionally and emotionally.
