Sexual harassment and misconduct refer to a broad range of inappropriate, unwelcome behaviours of a sexual nature and the common thread is a lack of informed consent. Some examples of sexual harassment include: 
  • Making unwelcome verbal or physical advances 
  • Stalking 
  • Unwelcome touching in a sexual way 
  • Making offensive or sexually explicit comments (like catcalling) 
  • Persistent unwanted sexual advances 
  • Making derogatory sexist remarks, gestures, or suggestions 
  • Making sexually embarrassing ‘jokes’ 
  • Displaying sexually explicit images or materials 
  • Sending inappropriate texts and emails to or about you 
  • Asking inappropriate sexual questions, for example about your sexual history or sexual orientation
