Sexual harassment is any unwanted attention of a sexual nature, like remarks about your looks or personal life. Sometimes these comments sound like compliments, but they make you feel uneasy. Sexual harassment can include:
degrading words or pictures (like graffiti, photos, or posters);
physical contact of any kind;
sexual demands.
Someone is harassing you if they are:
doing things to make you feel uncomfortable;
saying things to make you feel uncomfortable;
putting you at risk in some way
