【🚨Say NO to Sexual Harassment🚨】

 

During Orientation Activities, it is crucial to be vigilant against sexual harassment and to actively oppose it by firmly stating NO 🙅🏻♀🙅🏻 ⁠!

There are two types of sexual harassment as defined under the Sex Discrimination Ordinance of Hong Kong: ⁠

1. Person-to-person sexual harassment⁠

– A person’s unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature to another person, where an objective, reasonable person would have agreed that the conduct is offensive, humiliating or intimidating. ⁠

E.g.

❌Inappropriate touching by your groupmate⁠

❌Group leaders sending you pornographic images/videos/texts on social media⁠

❌ExCo asking you questions about your sex life⁠

 

️2. Sexually hostile/intimidating environment⁠

– A person’s conduct of sexual nature which creates a sexually hostile or intimidating environment for another person, even though the behaviour is not consciously targeted at an individual. ⁠

E.g. ⁠

❌Organisers delivering sexually-suggestive games in orientation camp ⁠
❌Making sexual jokes in WhatsApp Group

 

⁠If you suspect that you are being harassed… 🆘

✅ Say NO. Let others know the behaviour is unwelcome and must be stopped immediately. ⁠ 
✅ Record details (e.g. date/ time/ venue/ witness)⁠ 
✅ Seek advice or assistance from CEDARS and Equal Opportunity Unit (EOU)⁠ 
✅ Lodge a report to CEDARS or a complaint to EOU⁠
