Explanation

Section 354A IPC defines sexual harassment and includes:

  • Unwanted physical contact and advances,

  • Demand or request for sexual favors,

  • Showing pornography against a woman’s will,

  • Sexually colored remarks.

While sexually colored or suggestive remarks can amount to harassment, a polite compliment that is not sexual or offensive in nature and is not unwelcome generally does not constitute sexual harassment. The law emphasizes intent and perception—if the woman feels uncomfortable or harassed, it may be treated seriously.
