Harassment

Topic Progress:

Harassment is defined as persistent unwanted conduct, unsolicited behaviour or attention of a sexual nature. Some examples of harassment include, but are not limited to:

  • Derogatory language.
  • Unacceptable jokes or ‘banter’.
  • Using terms of endearment.
  • Inappropriate comments or remarks.
  • Unwelcome touching, hugging, kissing, attention of a sexual nature, or generally invading someone’s personal space.
  • Inappropriate comments about a person’s body, appearance or dress.

Even if your intentions are harmless, this type of behaviour might be considered insulting or discriminatory, constituting a form of harassment.
