Sexual Harassment: A Growing Problem

Sexual harassment is one of the biggest problems faced today. Sexual harassment
can happen to anyone. It is not limited to any specific genders, races, or ages. It can
cause many personal or emotional problems.
The definition of sexual harassment is any unwanted or inappropriate sexual
attention. It includes touching, looks, comments, or gestures. An essential part of
sexual harassment is that it is one sided and unwanted. There is a great difference
between sexual harassment and romance or friendship, since those are mutual
feelings of two people. Often sexual harassment makes the victim feel guilty, but it
is important for the victim to remember that it is not their fault. The fault lies totally
on the person who is the harasser.
Many times fear is involved in sexual harassment because it is not about physical
attraction; it is about power. M sexual harassment incidents take place when one
person is in a position of power over the other. Typical victims of harassment are
young, single, college-educated, members of the minority.
