Gender Sensitization against Sexual Harassment

Within JGU, the definition of sexual harassment applies equally to men, women, and individuals identifying as third gender. The policy includes harassment by a member of one gender against a member of another, or of the same gender. JGU recognises that sexual harassment is overwhelmingly perpetrated by men against women. However, sexual harassment may also be perpetrated by women against men or may occur between persons of the same sex.

We recognise that sexual harassment is not only perpetrated by men against women and encourage anyone being harassed to approach the Committee to seek support. The JGU Policy Against Sexual Harassment protects all employees and students.
