The law on harassment
The Equality Act 2010 protects people against sexual harassment and harassment related to 'protected characteristics', for example a person's sex.
Sexual harassment is different to harassment related to a person's protected characteristic, for example sex, sexual orientation, or gender reassignment. Someone could experience both types of harassment at the same time, or separately.
