Sexual harassment means that someone is bothering you by saying or doing unwanted or unwelcome things of a sexual nature. Sexual harassment does not have to be sexual. It can also mean that someone is bothering you because of your sex or gender and can happen just because you are a man or a woman. You are the only woman there and his remarks do not make you feel as professional as the men on the staff. Sexual harassment and other forms of harassment based on sex or gender happen mostly to women.
Harassment can also happen to men or between members of the same sex.
These kinds of behaviour are wrong because they hurt people and make them uncomfortable. It can make living and working together very difficult. Stereotyping around gender characteristics is also a form of sexual harassment. And sexual harassment is against the law in Ontario. Speak to the person's boss or tell your union representative if it happens at work.
