Conduct Constituting Sexual And Other Harassment

A wide range of conduct can constitute sexual harassment including sexist remarks, lewd pictures and conduct, and demanding sexual favors. There is no simple formula for determining whether conduct in any particular situation rises to the level of harassment; courts look at all the facts of a case to make that determination. If you think you've been harassed including by someone of the same sex, this section will help you decide if your situation is one that might be considered sexual harassment. Then see "Steps to Take if You've Been Harassed" for information on what to do next.
