How to Keep Yourself Safe
By definition, sexual harassment is harassment in a workplace, or other professional or social situation, that involves the making of unwanted sexual advances or obscene remarks. This includes requests for sexual favors and other verbal or physical harassment of a sexual nature.
Thought the law does not prohibit simple teasing, offhand comments or isolated incidents that aren’t serious, harassment is illegal when it is happening so often or severely that it creates a hostile or offensive work environment. This sort of behavior usually ends in serious repercussions for the offender, such as a demotion or being fired.
Sexual harassment can happen to anyone – not just women. The harasser can be the victim’s supervisor, a manager from another department, a co-worker, or someone who is not an employee, such as a client or customer.
