Discrimination and Harassment
Harassment is a type of discrimination.
It is any behaviour which makes a person feel frightened,
threatened, offended, uncomfortable in any way.
In some cases, a single act may be enough to amount to harassment.
Anyone can be harassed e.g. people of any age, race or religion; women or men.
Harassment is often about one person (or a group) using power inappropriately over another person or group.
