Course Content

It is defined as any unwanted conduct of a sexual nature that has the purpose or effect of: 

• violating a person’s dignity or 
• creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment 

Even if a harasser did not intend to cause harm to a victim, it could still be a case of sexual harassment. 

To help prevent sexual harassment, it is crucial that people:
