The third instalment in the American Club’s series of animations on SASH Awareness suggests that anyone witnessing such a situation should take an active role in speaking up and saying something.
Behaviors such as displaying sexually suggestive pictures, unnecessary touching, and stealing underwear are inappropriate and should be reported and never tolerated. Victims of sexual assault or sexual harassment can be of any gender, and perpetrators can be of the same or different sex.
Examples of sexual harassment (include but are not limited to):
- Verbal incl. epithets, derogatory jokes or comments, slurs or unwanted sexual advances, invitations or comments
- Visual incl. derogatory and/or sexually oriented posters, photography, cartoons, drawing or gestures
- Physical incl. unwanted touching, blocking normal movement or interfering with work because of refusal of sexual advances or sexual orientation
- Threats and demands to submit to sexual requests as a condition of continued employment or to avoid discipline
