4 Sexual Harassment and Violence Helpline
A. Definition
- Establishment of plans and education for the prevention of sexual harassment and sexual
violence incidents, and performing tasks for timely handling of incidents
B. Concepts
(1) What is sexual harassment?
- When someone commits an act that makes another person feel sexually humiliated, when
someone's words or physical behaviors of a sexual nature cause discomfort in another person,
or when someone utilizes their position or power in relation to employment-related duties
to put another person at a disadvantage in their employment for not complying with sexual
requests.
(cf. Framework Act on the Development of Gender Equality)
(2) Examples of Sexual Harassment

Type Content
- Closely looking at a specific part of another person's body or blatantly physically

Physical
inspecting them
conduct
- Attempting to make undesired physical contact or asking for a massage or caress
- Repeating derogatory, obscene remarks or offensive, sexist remarks.

- Spreading rumors about another's sexual relationships or sex life.
- Habitually uttering sexual analogies or assessing the appearance of others
Verbal - Remarks that promote sexual objectification
conduct - Forcing someone to sit next to them or pour drinks during department, club, or
session meetings
- Requiring sexual encounters or a relationship in return for an advantage or to avoid a
disadvantage
- Deliberately fondling a specific part of body in front of others

Visual - Publishing obscene paintings, drawings, or pictures that are not related to work or
conduct education
- Offending others by sending pornographic pictures and photos through email
120
(3) Prevention and Taking Action against Sexual Harassment
Prevention of Sexual Harassment
Ch1
- Most everyone agrees that sexual harassment and sexual violence is bad, but it may not be
obvious what behavior qualifies. Many studies have shown that people have different
opinions as to what can be considered sexual harassment. For instance, women and men
generally have significantly different opinions about what qualifies as sexual harassment.
Ch2
- Therefore, even those who do not intend to commit sexual harassment may still do so if their
habitual conduct causes sexual humiliation and discomfort in others. How can this
unfortunate situation be prevented? It begins with small practices that each of us can do.
Ch3
･ Accept that your colleagues are independent human beings with dignity and human rights
and respect differences that may exist between you and your colleagues.
･ Avoid unnecessary physical contact. Ask people before engaging in any conduct that could
be deemed as invading their privacy.
Ch4
･ Remember that silence about unpleasant sexual conduct that you receive can cause
further misunderstandings. Do not hesitate to express your disapproval and discomfort.
If you are a victim of sexual harassment or sexual violence
Ch5
a) Clearly indicate your refusal to engage in behavior requested of you or your desire that
behavior that affects you stop.
- Most offenders will say their conduct is an expression of intimacy. If you do not indicate your
refusal to accept such behavior, the perpetrator may have a misconception about whether
Ch6
their actions are welcome. Therefore, it is necessary to express refusal to the offender
immediately.
- If you find it difficult to express your refusal verbally, display an unpleasant expression and
leave the area. Ch7
- Express your intentions in a calm and clear manner.
b) Ask perpetrator to stop the conduct.

- Express that the conduct makes you uncomfortable and ask the person to stop the conduct.
- When you are reporting the behavior, describe the conduct of the offender according to the
5W1H rule (who, what, where, when, why, how)
c) Secure evidence and accurately report the circumstances of the event

- If sexual harassment occurs, it is important to note the date, time, place, specific conduct,
witnesses, your experiences and feelings, and the consequences of the events in formal
reports.
- Eyewitness evidence should be recorded in writing or an audio recording.

If you are a perpetrator of sexual harassment or violence

- Admit what you have done and apologize rather than making excuses. Making excuses does
not help anyone. Ask the victim how you can help them. Respect the requests of the victim
from a distance. If they do not want to meet you, you should not push them to do so.
What to do if you witness sexual harassment or violence

- Do not treat sexual harassment or violence as a scandal or commotion as such treatment
damages the community. Rather, treat it as an important problem that needs to be seriously
addressed by the community as a whole.
- Mentally support victims by listening to them and believing them. Help victims find and access
appropriate resources and discuss with them what their next steps are. Be willing to
accompany them as they access these resources.
C. Operations of the Help Desk for Sexual Harassment and Violence

(1) What role does the Help Desk play?
