Sexual or gender-related harassment - Answer✔️✔️-Sexual or gender-
related harassment is any unwelcome sexual advance, request for
sexual favors, or other unwanted conduct of a sexual nature,
whether verbal, non-verbal, graphic, physical, or otherwise, related
to gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression
when:
~submission to or rejection of such conduct is made a condition of
or limits employment or participation in sport; or
~the conduct is sufficiently severe, persistent, or pervasive that it
limits the opportunity to participate in sport.
Example:
A coach practices alone with a player repeatedly, comments on the

and asks the player on a date. When the player rejects the date, the
coach removes the player from the starting line-up.
