What are some examples of gender harassment?

Gender harassment can take many forms, including: Unwanted sexual advances or propositions: This can include unwanted touching, kissing, or other physical contact, as well as verbal or written requests for sexual favors or dates. Verbal or written comments or gestures: This can include derogatory or offensive remarks or jokes about a person's gender, as well as gestures or nonverbal behavior that is intended to intimidate or humiliate a person based on their gender. Physical intimidation or assault: This can include physical acts of aggression or violence based on a person's gender, such as pushing, shoving, or hitting, as well as more severe forms of assault. Display of offensive materials: This can include the display of offensive or sexually suggestive materials, such as posters or magazines, in the workplace, which can create a hostile work environment based on gender. Retaliation for reporting gender harassment: This can include adverse employment actions, such as demotion, termination, or other forms of retaliation, taken against an employee who reports gender harassment. It's important to note that any behavior that creates a hostile or intimidating work environment based on an employee's gender can be considered gender harassment, even if it doesn't fit neatly into one of these categories. Employers have a legal responsibility to prevent and address gender harassment in the workplace, and employees have the right to report harassment without fear of retaliation.
