What is Sexual Harassment?

Any unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature. 

DON'T DO IT!

DON'T ALLOW IT!

 

Sexual Harassment in the School

Uninvited behavior that makes being in school offensive, negative, unfriendly, and/or intimidating and leads to a hostile environment that makes learning difficult.

 

"This for That.......Something for Something Else"  This is another form of harassment. 

Examples: 

  • The manager at the fast food place in which you work says you will be fired if you do not have sex with him/her.
  • Someone blocking the door and refusing to let you through unless you agree to certain behaviors.

 Flirting vs. Sexual Harassment

Flirting:

  • Welcomed behavior
  • Leaves you feeling positive

  • Fun, Wanted, Flattering
  • Enjoyable

Sexual Harassment:

  • Unwelcome behavior
  • Leaves you feeling negative
  • Disrespectful
  • Not fun
  • Unwanted

SEXUAL HARASSMENT OFTEN GOES UNREPORTED. 

REPORTING IS THE ONLY WAY TO GET HELP.
