DEFINITION OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT
Do you know what is Sexual Harassment?
http://www.archlou.org/article82491.htm
Sexual harassment is unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature. Sexual harassment occurs whenever a hostile environment is created through humor, vulgar comments, sexually suggestive cartoons, e-mail messages, or posters, as well as actual physical abuse.
From the book titled Sexual Harassment-"This Doesn't Feel Right!" by Kate Havelin, sexual harassment is any unwanted sexual attention, actions, or words.
The key word is UNWANTED .That means the words or actions are not welcome.
It includes everything from rude comments from a stranger to being forced to have sex with someone. Some incidents of sexual harassment are simply annoying, serious and deeply hurt victims and others.
This is some example of sexual harassment:-
*unnecessary and unwelcome physical contact such as touching, patting, pinching, or kissing.
*sexual assault
*jokes, comments, indirect suggestions, or taunting about a person for a date after he or she has repeatedly said no.
*pressuring a person to have sex.
*asking a person about his or her sexual fantasies, preferences, or sex life.
*sexual looks or gestures such as licking the lips or wiggling the tongue.
*sexual pictures or words displayed on a pulic surface
*stalking or continually following a person.
So, maybe you guys out there have any opinion about this issue...Please leave your comment and thank you...:))

sexual harassment always happen 2 women. Women are sexually harassed in the streets, in public transport, and, very often, at the workplace. very few women report being sexually harassed as they feel that little action can be taken against the harassers or the workplace. Many women also fear they may lose their jobs.
oh god, come on women!wake up!they deserve 2 get punishment!

Hi girls,
For me, sexual harassment is a big offense eventhough they done accidentally. Mostly done to the girls by boy like stalking the girls or makes sexual looks like licking the lips.
Actually, sexual harassment is not the same as flirting because flirting is mutual between 2 people you like but sexual harassment is one-way and makes you feel cheap.
I know, nobody like sexual harassment right?.
so, like u said mira, we have to wake up n punish them.kakkaka...:(

Hi friends...
"Sexual Harassment"
Wow... I think this topic is very interesting to discuss. I hope all people can get info and benefit from this discussion.
Under the Human Rights Act as developed by the Human Rights Commission,
there two types of sexual harassment i.e.:
1. a request for sex together with an implied or overt promise of preferential
treatment or a threat of detrimental treatment.
2. sexual behaviour, language or visual material which is unwelcome or
offensive and either repeated or significant enough to have a detrimental
effect on the person subjected to it.
Actually, sexual harassment can occur anywhere such as in the work place and public area. Perpetrators used a variety of ways to disturb the victim such as purposely touching any part of the body, inappropriate conversation, e.g. talking about an employee’s sex life, calling a person by a pet name, e.g. “Honey”, “Sweetheart”, inappropriate facial expressions, including blowing kisses and winking and many more.
Victims of sexual harassment are usually women. Because of that, we must always be careful.

Sexual harassment can occur in a variety of circumstances. Often, but not always, the harasser is in a position of power or authority over the victim (due to differences in age, or social, political, educational or employment relationships). Forms of harassment relationships include:
The harasser can be anyone, such as a client, a co-worker, a teacher or professor, a student, a friend, or a stranger.
The victim does not have to be the person directly harassed but can be anyone who finds the behavior offensive and is affected by it
The victim can be any gender. The harasser can be any gender.
The harasser does not have to be of the opposite sex.
The harasser may be completely unaware that his or her behavior is offensive or constitutes sexual harassment or may be completely unaware that his or her actions could be unlawful. Adapted from the U.S. EEOC definition
Misunderstanding between Female-Male Communication: It can result from a situation where one thinks he/she is making themselves clear, but is not understood the way they intended. The misunderstanding can either be reasonable or unreasonable. An example of unreasonable is when a man holds a certain stereotypical view of a woman such that he did not understand the woman’s explicit message to stop.(Heyman, 1994)
this is all about harassement situation...hurm...(^-^)

i agree with mira...but to protect ourself it was enough if we just bring perfumes or somethings like that with us.hehehhe....
no need to use needles or umbrella because it's a bit difficult i think..so,when we have 2 confront with harasser just take out our perfumes and attack to their eyes..~just like in movie..hahahha=)
