 Harassment covers a wide range of behaviours of an offensive nature. It is commonly understood as behaviour intended to disturb or upset, and it is characteristically repetitive. In the legal sense, it is intentional behaviour which is found threatening or disturbing. Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, sexually explicit images and language in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome attention sexual or otherwise. False and misleading accusations can be viewed as harassment. Members, guests, and visitors asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. Harassment covers a wide range of behaviours of an offensive nature.
