Sexual harassment includes verbal or physical abuse of a sexual nature such as unwanted comments about someone's body, sexually degrading remarks, or unwelcome propositions or advances. Sexual harassment also includes threats and insinuations that sexual submission will be used as a basis for employment, advancement or educational decisions.
