It is legally mandatory for employers and administrators to deploy measures for combating and redressing incidents of sexual harassment in their organizations.
Sexual harassment could be difficult to identify due to prevailing and pervasive myths such as
i. Physical contact, gestures, or stalking
ii. decently dressed women are not sexually harassed',
iii. women who object to sexual harassment are over-reacting',
iv. women keep quiet when harassed because they like eve-teasing', and sexist attitudes such as
v. provocatively dressed women ask to be sexually harassed and have no right to complain'.
The above instances are examples of further victimizing and traumatizing victims of sexual harassment.
Attempts to influence/intimidate by linking professional advancement with sexual favours, or creating a hostile work environment through (for instance) sexually coloured conversations, letters, telephone calls and text messages, or making demeaning comments about women's roles in society are all cases of sexual harassment.
In short, the definition of sexual harassment is broad enough to include all kinds of offensive, hostile, intimidating, humiliating and exploitative language, gestures and conduct.
