Different Forms of Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment is not limited to overt physical advances; it can take various forms. Below are some of the common types:
Verbal Harassment: This includes offensive comments, jokes, or conversations that make an employee feel uncomfortable or threatened. Such language often involves sexual innuendos, inappropriate remarks about a person's appearance, or persistent unsolicited invitations.
Physical Harassment: This type of harassment includes any unwanted touching, groping, or physical advances. It may range from unwanted touching of the body to forced physical interaction, which is unequivocally illegal.
Non-Verbal Harassment: This encompasses gestures, glances, or visual displays (such as showing offensive images) that create a hostile environment. Even if no physical interaction occurs, such behaviors can severely impact the victim’s well-being.
Cyber Harassment: With the growing reliance on digital communication, sexual harassment through emails, social media, or messaging platforms is becoming increasingly common. Offensive emails, unsolicited images, or lewd messages fall under this category.
