CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background of the Study

Sexual harassment is a serious problem for all student at all educational levels. Students in elementary and secondary schools as well as vocational schools, apprenticeship programmes, colleges, polytechnics and universities can be victims of sexual harassment. This problem is more common than you might think because many students are scared or too embarrassed to report sexual harassment (Folusho and Asebiomo, 2012).

According to the International Labour Organization ILO (2012a), harassment is any conduct towards someone depending on their age, disability, HIV status, domestic circumstances, sex, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, racial background, language, colour, religion, trade union affiliation or other opinion or belief, national or social origin, connection to a minority, property, birth or other status which is unreciprocated or undesirable and which influences the dignity of males and females at job.

Di Martino and Musri, (2001) add to the concept of harassment that it is an unwanted conduct which could be verbal, non verbal, visual, psychological or physical.

The undesirable sexual attention of men is a common behavior around the world especially in employment and different stages of education especially for women and girls. The experience of sexual harassment phenomena is worldwide transcending among all different levels of socioeconomic status and educational level and cutting across most national and cultural characteristics.

It is one of the most endemic types of violence toward women and girls today (Amani,Hanan andSamia2017). In spite of wide spread prohibition around the world, undesirable sexual attention is an unavoidable condition of work and education for important number of women and girls.

The forms of behaviors that constitute it and the type and severity of harm that result from it vary by region, occupation, and discipline (Morgan and Gruber, 2011).

Sexual harassment is undesirable sexual advances, needs for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical behavior of sexual nature (Hassan et al., 2008). It is any unwanted sexual offensive or aggressive behavior that is carried out through any sexual physical or verbal act. Also, it is considered as a damage of the recipient’s dignity, as it creates an intimidating, hostile, humiliating, offensive environment for the recipient (Mohammed and Hashish, 2014).

The phenomenon of sexual harassment has been a main concern in the entire world. In the US and the European countries the percentage of sexual harassment cases was forty to sixty percent among women. Recently, sexual harassment has quickly increased in the Middle East’s societies; particularly, the Egyptian society Generally (SHP) is viewed as encompassing all kinds of disagreeable behavior of a sexual nature, whether verbal and/or physical.

The types of (SH) have been comprehensively specified in the code of practice as verbal, unpleasant or suggestive comments, non-verbal or gestural as leering or ogling with suggestive overtones, visual as showing pornographic materials, Psychological as unwanted social invitations and Physical harassment as unacceptable touching (Nazari et al., 2007).
