• Sexual harassment covers a whole range of things from rude remarks to leering and unwanted physical contact.  They are known in law as direct discrimination under the Sex Discrimination Act, 1975.
   
• Both men and women may be victims of sexual harassment. Unfair treatment, such as being refused a job or a place on a course or suffering from discrimination while trying to buy something or rent a flat, is also covered by the Act.
   
• If you have experienced discrimination, don't let it go unnoticed.  Make a detailed note of what has happened, including when, where and how the event took place and who was involved.
  
• Try speaking to someone you trust, such as a parent, teacher or personal adviser.  You could also get in touch with one of the agencies listed or check out the website links.
