What is Harassment Harassment is any unwanted or uninvited remarks, gestures, sounds or actions of a persistent nature that make a person feel unsafe, degraded or uncomfortable. It includes any overt, subtle, verbal or written comments or any physical conduct which places pressure on, ridicules, degrades, or expresses hatred based on a persons appearance, abilities, sex or sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, cultural background, place of birth, religion, citizenship or ancestry.

Examples of Harassment Some examples of harassment are: unwanted, unwelcome physical contact like touching, grabbing or patting sexual gossip obscene phone calls rude jokes or suggestive remarks of a sexual nature demeaning nicknames catcalls, rating, or embarrassing whistles Stalking graffiti threats, abuse, or assault sexually insulting remarks about race, culture, ability or class.

Harassment is not a hug between friends mutual flirtation sincere and personal compliment

What do you do if you think you are being harassed? Do not ignore it. It will not go away. Tell someone about the incident, e.g., a friend, teacher, counsellor, parent, Public Health Nurse or other trusted adult. Keep a diary, or written record, of the incidents of harassment. Such information may be useful if you do proceed with a complaint. If possible, tell the person who is harassing you to stop. Keep yourself safe. If you believe you are being sexually harassed and find that saying no does not stop the behaviour, or if your objections have no effect, or if you are afraid to say no, get help.
