Sexual harassment is effectively a form of gender discrimination in the workplace. Sexual harassment comes in many forms. It includes unwelcome sexual advances, jokes, comments, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature. Typically the most egregious forms of sexual harassment involve physical touching: touching, petting, or purposely brushing up against the person. The uninvited conduct does not, however, have involved physical touching; it can be unwanted communications, whether those be in person, phone calls, emails, social media postings or text messages.
