Unwanted, unwelcomed and unasked for behaviours of a sexual nature are forms of sexual violence. Any sexual contact between a person of authority and a person under 18 years of age is legally considered sexual assault.
Suggestive or intimidating behaviour; exchanging grades for sexual activity; guilt-tripping; isolating a student; or making inappropriate comments or touching are forms of sexual violence.
There is always more than one option for a bystander. Do something you are comfortable with, like:

- Report it: Tell someone you trust - a teacher, a principal, a parent/caregiver or elder.
