CONCLUSION
3. HARASSMENT
• Harassment covers a wide range of behaviours of
offensive nature.
• It is commonly understood as behaviour that
demeans, humiliates or embarrasses a person,
and it is characteristically identified by its
unlikelihood in terms of social and moral
reasonableness.
• The continuity or repetitiveness and the aspect of
distressing, alarming or threatening may
distinguish it from insult.
5. SEXUAL HARASSMENT
Sexual harassment is a type
of sexual violence – the phrase we
use to describe any sexual activity or
act that happened without consent.
Other types of sexual violence
include rape and sexual assault.
It can often make victims and
survivors feel upset, scared,
humiliated or unsafe
6. •This unwanted sexual conduct can
happen in person, on the phone,
by text or email, or online. Both the
harasser and the victim or survivor
can be of any gender.
• For some, it can have a serious
impact on their physical and
mental health, and affect their
quality of life.
7. Sexual harassment includes a really wide range of
behaviours, such as:
Sexual comments or noises – for example, catcalling or wolf-
whistling.
Sexual gestures.
Leering, staring or suggestive looks. This can include looking
someone up and down.
Sexual ‘jokes’.
Sexual innuendos or suggestive comments.
Unwanted sexual advances or flirting.
Sexual requests or asking for sexual favours.
Unwanted physical contact of a sexual nature – for example,
brushing up against someone or hugging, kissing or massaging
them.
Stalking.
8. TYPES OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT
• Verbal Sexual Harassment
• Non-Verbal Sexual Harassment
• Physical Sexual Contact
9. VERBAL SEXUAL HARASSMENT
Verbal sexual harassment
involves saying anything of a
sexual nature to someone who is
an unwilling recipient.
Not every sexually-charged
comment rises to the level of
sexual harassment, and the
perpetrator’s intent can be a
factor in some cases,
10. e.g., if someone tells a
sexual joke believing that it
will be found funny, not
offensive.
However, there is a line that can be easily crossed;
and, for individuals who feel that they have been
victimized by verbal sexual harassment, it is important
to consult with an attorney promptly.
11. NON VERBAL SEXUAL
HARSSMENT
Non-verbal sexual harassment is
any form of unwanted
sexual communication or
conduct that involves something
other than verbal speech but
falls short of physical sexual
contact.
12. • This includes sending
emails and text messages
that are sexually explicit or
otherwise sexual in nature,
as well as acts such as:
Exposing oneself
Blocking a hallway or
doorway
Blowing kisses or winking
Showing sexually-explicit
videos
Staring, following, or
stalking
13. PHYSICAL SEXUAL CONTACT
• Unwanted physical contact is considered either
sexual harassment or sexual assault, depending on
the severity of the encounter.
14. Examples of physical contact that
can constitute sexual harassment,
or that can blur the line between
sexual harassment and sexual
assault, include:
Any form of unwanted touching,
Patting, grabbing, rubbing, or
pinching,
Hugging or kissing.

16. INTRODUCTION
o In the 21st century we have
educated and confident
women in India. We have
women who are building
India; taking it to newer
heights of achievement and
glory. In every field of work
women are shining.
o However, it is quite unfortunate that women at most of
the workplaces are facing sexual harassment which is
in substance an attack on their dignity. They do not get
an environment which is free from fear and sexual
harassment.
17. Sexual harassment at workplace may take
two forms:
1) Quid Pro Quo, when a job benefit - such as a pay
rise, a promotion, or even continued employment -
is made conditional on the victim acceding to
demands to engage in some form of sexual
behaviour; or;
2) hostile working environment in which the
conduct creates conditions that are intimidating or
humiliating for the victim.
18. Very often situations that start off
innocently end up in inappropriate and
unprofessional behaviours.
It is important to remember that
workplace sexual harassment is sexual,
unwelcome and the experience is
subjective.
It is important also to remember that
each case is unique and should be
examined in its own context and
according to the surrounding
circumstances as a whole.
19. Person one who gets affected are often hesitated to open up
and leave their workplace with trauma . It even lead them to
deliberate of self harm .
To enable prevention of sexual harassment at the workplace,
it is critical to recognize and differentiate between welcome
and unwelcome sexual behaviour.

21. SEXUAL HARASSMENT ON
PRINT MEDIA
• Speaking out about sexual abuse
is hard, especially when the abuser
is a powerful Hollywood producer.
She Said was the book written by
Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey
which exposed one of the biggest
Hollywood secret.
• Kantor and Twohey,
were the two investigators perfect for the job.
22. • With their hard work,
determination, and skills in
investigative journalism
brought out the cheap
behaviours of the famous
producer Harvey Weinstein
who has been known to propel
young actors to stardom and
earned arm-full's of Oscar
trophies.
• He sexually forced many
women’s of industry in his hotel
room and settled
23. them with his money. Simply getting witness
testimonies would not be enough instead, the
journalists understood they would need concrete
evidence and corroboration of stories for society to
take action. When the time came to publish the article,
Kantor and Twohey didn’t expect the response they
received. Women were coming forward at a rapid rate
to share their own experiences and the article sparked
a #Me-too movement which gave women a platform to
share their stories of sexual abuse and harassment. I
personally got inspired by their courage and boldness
to voice out and support those women’s without any
hesitation.
24. SEXUAL HARASSMENT IN
SOCIAL MEDIA
• It was all first started in the Twitter where women
started to express their experience of sexual
harassment with the #ME TOO.
• It is a social movement against sexual abuse and
harassment and rape culture, in which people
publicize their experiences of sexual abuse or
harassment.
• The original purpose of "Me Too" as used by Tarana
Burke in 2006 was to empower women through
empathy, especially young and vulnerable women.
25. o In October 2017, Alyssa
Milano encouraged using
the phrase as a hash tag to
help reveal the extent of
problems with sexual
harassment and assault by
showing how many people
have experienced these
events themselves.
o It therefore encourages
women to speak up about
their abuses, knowing that
they are not alone
26. o Many celebrities came forward
and shared their experiences
with the hash tag me too. The
famous singer Chinmayi
Sripaada joined the movement
me too and put her sexual
accusation on the famous poet
Vairamuthu.
o Many celebrities came
forward after her accusation
which created a revolution in
Kollywood.
28. Sexual assault can happen to
anyone, no matter your age, sexual
orientation, or gender identity.
Men and boys who have been
sexually assaulted or abused may
have many of the same feelings and
reactions as other survivors of sexual
assault, but they may also face some
additional challenges because of
social attitudes and stereotypes
about men and masculinity.
29. Some men who have survived
sexual assault as adults feel shame
or self-doubt, believing that they
should have been “strong enough”
to fight off the perpetrator.
Many men who experienced an
erection or ejaculation during the
assault may be confused and
wonder what this means.
Men who were sexually abused
as boys or teens may also respond
differently than men who were
sexually assaulted as adults.
30. The following list includes some of the common
experiences shared by men and boys who have
survived sexual assault,
Anxiety, Depression, Post traumatic stress
disorder, Flashbacks, and Eating disorder
Avoiding people or places that remind you of the assault or
abuse
Concerns or questions about sexual orientation
Fear of the worst happening and having a sense of a
shortened future
Worrying about disclosing for fear of judgment or disbelief
32. ANAL MELE PANI THULI NADUNISI NAAYGAL SHE SAID
MOM GARGI NENJUKU NEEDHI
33. • The above were some of the famous movies
which talked about the sexual harassment.
• I personally chosen 2 movies to explain which
shown more intensity and information's about the
topic sexual harassment.
The two movies were,
GARGI
NADUNISI NAAYGAL
34. The movie GARGI was released on 15th July, 2022. It
was written and directed by Gautham Ramachandran.
Sai Pallavi played a major role in this movie. This is was
one of the film that everyone should watch which
clearly captured the pain of the girl child to sustain in
our society by facing all kind of sexual harassment. This
movie had alerted the parents to keep an eye on their
child to prevent them from child abuse. The emotions
they carry forward throughout the movie was realistic.
GARGI
35. The actual plot summary of the movie
is, A school teacher tries to prove her
father's innocence, after he's accused
of assaulting a child, with the help of a
junior lawyer who has little experience
in court. This movie is based on child
abuse. It also shown the traumas
occurs to a child who undergoes
sexual assault. The pain the child’s
parent holds were shown realistically.
36. This movie ends with a wonderful climax with a great
message. That last one minutes conveys the entire
pain of the women and welcomes a little girl to her
Womanhood.

37. NADUNISI NAAYGAL
• This film was released on 18th February 2011.
Directed by Gautham Vasudev Menon. Veera,
Sameera, and Deva played a major role. This was
one of the unique movie which talked about the
Sexual harassment faced by boys. In this movie
an eight years old boy who faced sexual abuse
by his own father turned into a psycho killer due
to his traumatic past and started to kill the women.
38. Though this movie is quite vulnerable, the content it
delivers mattered me the most. A sexual abuse can
even turn a person into psycho. Even now many boys
are been sexually harassed but it was not properly
exposed. Due to the stereotypical thinking many of
them hide their pain and not ready to share which
eventually turns them into a psycho killer. This movie
was one of the great example.
40. REWATI RANJAN
• Rewati Ranjan was an entrepreneur, social activist,
web developer and a blogger. She once shared her
real time experience of sexual harassment in an
interview. At the age of 14 she and her family went
on a trip. At the place of sight seeing 2 men were
constantly looked at her. On the first she ignored
them. While moving with her family she missed them
for a while. At that period of time these two men
grabbed and took her to a corner and banged her
head on the rock and made her numb. And one man
started to remove her scarf and they just made her
half naked and molested her.
41. She as a kid doesn’t even
know what’s happening right
there. All she want to do is to
scream but she can’t. After
sometime her right hand
started to work , she just
scratched their faces and
made some noise. Suddenly
the both men started to run
and she was completely
collapsed she didn’t even
know what happened to her.
She told her family nothing
42. has happened she was fine. From that day her life
turned into worst. She started to blame herself and
just hated her body. She said from that day, she had
many nightmares which made her to scream like
anything in the mid of the night. She scared to walk
alone and had the fear of touching her which may
again make her weak. And again at her higher
graduation a man known by her molested her. How
cruel right? But she didn’t give up she fed up of all
these shits. She decided to get rid of all the baggage
that she have been keeping for years. She want to
tear her fake smile mask and wanted to laugh from
deep heartedly. She started to take some courses
which took a long time to revive back her strongly.
43. oAnd now she was one of the top blogger who is
leading a happy life. The pain she holded and
experienced made her strong. One of the
inspirable story that I have heard till now.
