Gender and sexual orientation harassment fall into this family. Involving children, "gay" or "homo" is a common insult falling into this category.

The main focus of groups working against sexual harassment is protection for women, but protection for men is coming to light in recent years.

SEXUAL HARASSMENT

To persecute, harass, or torture in a deliberate, calculated, and planned manner as part of an induction into a group.

Because hazing tends to take place as part of a group's initiation rituals, the targeted individual is typically a subordinate or outsider;

for example, a fraternity pledge, a new employee, or a first-year military cadet. Hazing is illegal in many instances.

HAZING

advances can constitute harassment Becoming aware that your behaviour, if unwelcome, can

harass others, even if this was not your intention Refusing to go along with harassment masked as humour

or academic debate Clarifying your understanding of differences among

harassment, freedom of speech, academic freedom, and performance management

Educating yourself on an issue before approaching it Choosing not to use or share words, jokes and comments of

a discriminatory nature that may adversely affect others

WAYS TO STOP HARASSMENT

Choosing not to use or share words, jokes and comments of a discriminatory nature that may adversely affect others

Ensuring that your behaviour is welcome. Be sensitive to the feelings, verbal and non-verbal reactions of others and ask for clarification if you are uncertain that your behaviour is wanted

Encouraging work and study environment in which diversity is valued

Being aware that cultures different from your own may interpret actions differently than you do

Not using power positions to initiate sexual relationships (even subtly)

Making sure your attitudes and behaviour don't condone harassing behaviour in others

Offering support to anyone who is being harassed and helping others modify inappropriate behaviour

Drinking responsibly. Alcohol use does not excuse harassing behaviour

Circulating information to staff, students and faculty and encouraging attendance at discrimination and harassment and cross-cultural training programs
