Resources on Ending Sexual Harassment

Ending Sexual Harassment Webinar (4)

Sexual harassment is a type of discrimination based on sex involving unwanted comments or behaviour that intimidate, offend, or humiliate another person, and can be experienced by men or directed toward someone of the same sex. Sexual harassment is also described as a form of gender-based violence (GBV). Like the more overt forms of GBV such as domestic violence, or sexual violence; sexual harassment disproportionately affects women, is criminal and a violation of human rights.

Sexual harassment can occur anywhere—streets, workplace, places of learning—and is a violation of human rights. It includes unwelcomed sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical harassment of a sexual nature. 

On Thursday 19th January, CIWiL hosted a Regional Webinar focused on ending sexual harassment through shifting cultural norms. Presenters included Leah Thompson, Akins Vidale and Angelina Sookoo Bobb.
