Sexual Harassment Legal Service
Our Sexual Harassment Legal Service provides information, advice, and representation to women who have encountered sexual harassment in the workplace, in university or college, online, and in the street.
What is sexual harassment?
Sexual harassment is broadly defined as unwanted conduct of a sexual nature. It is predominantly experienced by women and perpetrated by men, which is why we consider it to be a form of gender based violence. Some examples include:
Making propositions and sexual advances
- Wolf-whistling or catcalling you
- Unwelcome touching, hugging and/ or kissing
- Making sexual comments or ‘jokes’
- Sending sexually explicit messages to, or about, you
- Asking intrusive questions about your sex life
- Spreading sexual rumours about you
- Displaying sexually graphic content
