The Supreme Court directive of 1997 clearly and unambiguously provides an answer to the question 'What is sexual harassment?'.
As defined in the Supreme Court guidelines, sexual harassment includes such unwelcome sexually determined behaviour as:
- Physical contact
- A demand or request for sexual favours
- Sexually coloured remarks
- Showing pornography
- Any other unwelcome physical, verbal or non-verbal conduct of a sexual nature, for example, leering, telling dirty jokes, making sexual remarks about a person's body, etc
