What is sexual harassment?
The definition of sexual harassment is broad enough to include different
kinds of offensive, hostile, intimidating, humiliating and exploitative
language, gestures and conduct.
It is important to note here that what constitutes sexual harassment is
defined by the person experiencing, and not by the perpetrator.

not limited to) the following.
VISUAL

Physical contact, gestures, or stalking.
Unwelcome physical conduct of sexual nature.
