Sexual Harassment (#434 in Issues In Society Series)
Justin Healey (Ed)Paperback 2018-07-01
Publisher Description
Sexual harassment is any unwanted or unwelcome sexual behaviour, which makes a person feel humiliated, offended or intimidated. Recent personal revelations of sexual abuse and assault in Hollywood and in Australia's own entertainment industry have inspired the #metoo campaign and publicly illustrated how prevalent and damaging such unlawful behaviours can be to the mostly female victims. This title explores the extent and impacts of everyday sexism and sexual harassment. It offers advice on how offenders, victims, bystanders and society as a whole can address this epidemic of sexual abuse which has, for so many years, gone unchecked and unchallenged in the face of male privilege, thereby further perpetuating female objectification and gender inequality. This volume also focuses on sexual harassment and violence in the workplace and on campuses, and how to prevent and report it. We all need to become champions of change and stop sexual harassment.
