چطور می‌گویید «این خبرها نیست»؟‌

the Canadian Labor Code defines it explicitly as “any conduct, comment, gesture or contact of a sexual nature that (a) is likely to cause offence or humiliation to any employee; and (b) that might, on reasonable grounds, be perceived by that employee as placing a condition of a sexual nature on employment or on a opportunity for training or promotion.”


The U.S. and Canadian definitions of sexual harassment are found in national laws and are closely tied to the type of remedy available to a victim of this form of violence.


Despite the lack of a universal definition of sexual harassment, there is general consensus about what constitutes prohibited conduct. For an action to be considered sexual harassment it must meet these criteria:


(1) [the action] is related to sex or sexual conduct;


(2) [the conduct] is unwelcome, not returned, not mutual; and


(3) [the conduct] affects the terms or conditions of employment, in some cases including the work environment itself.

یا از اینهم جالبتر:

In Canada, for example, laws that address sexual harassment do not require the victim to confront the alleged harasser in order to establish that the behavior was unwelcome. Additionally, it is not necessary for the victim of sexual harassment to expressly object to the conduct if a reasonable person would understand the behavior to be offensive and sexual in content. In establishing a sexual harassment claim, the fact that the victim made pervious complaints about the same conduct is evidence that the conduct was, in fact, unwelcome.
