The fact is that most of us do not KNOW what constitutes sexual harassment-


Educate yourself and play safe.

■ Sexual harassment is defined as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that creates a hostile or offensive environment. 

■ Here's a more detailed explanation:
●UNWELCOME NATURE:
The key element is that the behavior is not wanted or desired by the recipient. 

●SEXUAL HARASSMENT CAN INCLUDE: 
Unwelcome sexual advances: This includes unwanted physical contact, gestures, or verbal comments of a sexual nature. 

●Requests for sexual favors: This can involve pressure or coercion for sexual activity in exchange for employment benefits or other advantages. 

●Verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature: 
This can include offensive jokes, slurs, epithets, or name-calling, as well as physical assaults or threats, intimidation, ridicule, mockery, insults, or put-downs. 

■HOSTILE WORK ENVIRONMENT:
Sexual harassment can create a hostile or offensive work environment when the behavior is pervasive, severe, or creates an intimidating, hostile, or abusive atmosphere. 

■EXAMPLES: 
●Unwelcome sexual comments, jokes, or innuendoes. 

●Continuing to ask for a date or sex after someone refused. 

●Pressuring someone for sexual activity. 

●Talking about a person's body, clothing, or sexual orientation. 

■WHO CAN BE A HARASSER? 
•Supervisors 
•Co-workers 
•Non-employees, such as clients or customers 
•Male and Female

■LEGAL FRAMEWORK: 
Nigeria has laws and legal frameworks to address sexual harassment, including the Constitution of Nigeria, federal laws, state laws, and international instruments. 

●The National Industrial Courts have been commended for their innovations on workplace sexual harassment through their judgments and rules of court. Good job.

💢But we need to go further with enforcements of such laws and constitutional provisions in social settings too.

💥God bless Nigeria.

Honestly, in Africa most of the things you call sexual harassment are not seen in that way. I remember in my village in the past, an adult will call a small girl my wife in the presence of the parents and people will laugh it off. Some parents will even say we are expecting big bride price from you o. You see a young girl and you say my dear wife.
