• This behavior may be sexual harassment.
• Sexual harassment is when a person, regardless of their gender, says or does something to you that you do not like of a sexual nature.
• If, when a person says or does something of a sexual nature, you tell them to stop and they then start to harass you in your work, that is also sexual harassment.

• If nothing changes even if you seek advice at your company, you can consult your local Prefectural Labor Bureau’s Employment Environment and Equality Department (Office).
• You may also be committing sexual harassment against another person without realizing it,
so be careful of your own behavior.
• If you are a technical intern, seek advice from your supervising organization or from the Native Language Consultation Center of the Organization for Technical Intern Training (OTIT). (See 4-12)
