Sexual harassment is any unwanted behavior of a sexual nature directed at another person, whether through words, actions, or gestures, which may violate their body or dignity. It includes various forms such as inappropriate staring, making sexual comments about someone’s body, clothes, or walk, following someone persistently, unwanted attention like intrusive attempts to connect, and online harassment through sexual messages or threats. Sexual harassment can occur in places like work, schools, or universities, and the harasser could be someone in authority, a colleague, or a stranger. The effects of sexual harassment on women can be long-lasting, including decreased self-esteem, career setbacks, feelings of fear, anxiety, guilt, insecurity, eating disorders, social interaction problems, and increased aggression. These negative impacts can significantly affect the quality of life and disrupt daily activities.
