    Sexual harassment in the workplace is unlawful and can include unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature, or offensive remarks about a person's sex that create a hostile work environment or result in an adverse employment action. Both the victim and harasser can be either women or men, and harassment need not be of a sexual nature - it can include offensive remarks about a person's sex. The harasser can be the victim's supervisor, another supervisor, a co-worker, or a non-employee such as a client or customer.
