Defining Sexual Harassment

In this workshop, we address what the experience of being sexually harassed is and what sexual harassment is legally.  We look at the question, “What is the difference between flirting or teasing and sexual harassment?” in order to create a sensitivity to harassment and prevent hyper-sensitivity (wherein people feel forbidden to participate in normal, playful socializing).  Participants learn to identify harassment for themselves and others, and how to prevent it and advocate for themselves and others.  This class gives participants permission to stand up for themselves and utilize resources for help with harassment.
