| sexual harassment | A form of discrimination in the workplace which violates the civil rights act of 1964. Sexual harassment takes two forms: quid pro quo, where the employee must submit to sexual advances in exchange for job benefits or be penalised for refusing; or a hostile environment, where the atmosphere of the workplace is offensive and affects the employee's well-being. Offensive sexual conduct may include unwelcome advances, comments, touching, questions about marital status and sex practices, etc. Both men and women may be aggressors or victims. (slee and slee, health care terms, 2d ed, p.404). While civil rights legislation deals with sexual harassment in the workplace, the behaviour is not restricted to this; it may take place outside the work environment: in schools and colleges, athletics, and other social milieus and activities.
