Question Sexual harassment?

Do you consider staring and wolf whistles a kind of sexual harassment, especially when you are alone and there is more than one man in question? How do you deal with this kind of situation?

At the work place or even on the street, I consider such incidents as acts of sexual harassment. What can a lone woman do in such situation, but leave in a hurry.

Usually simply glaring and going on with whatever you are involved in without bothering to rush off or confront works ...........

But if things get out of hand it is better to report the incident and make sure it is not repeated with you or someone else

I consider this as an act of sexual harassment. Whenever I encounter this situation, I try to keep distance. If ever this happens in our workplace, we could tell our superior about this. But, what about when you are in the street? So, I suggest ladies should not walk alone.

Sexual harassment is prohibited in the workplace. There is safety in numbers so traveling with another individual or a group is a good practice. Women should not have to endure wolf whistles or other crass conduct.

If it was just staring I would say no big deal but the whistling is inappropriate especially in the work place. If you feel you can safely confront these guys tell them they are making you uncomfortable and to please stop. if the harasment continues report them to a superior. If this harassment is happening some where other than the work place try to avoid them and maybe buy a stub gun or some pepper spray just incase.

Well, this could already an example of harassment. A man whistling you while you on the street? I guess, you better walk ahead without looking at them. Of course, you to be careful too, because you don't know what they are planning for you.

I would definitely say that would be considered sexual harassment. You really should tell someone about it. If something makes you uncomfortable, then it's not right. Only if you're comfortable with doing so, I would advise talking to the person doing it first, however, I know most the time this is not the case. So, talk to someone in confidence.. a supervisor or someone in HR who can be trusted. Try not to talk about it too much with fellow employees, because this may make the situation worse
