Abstract
Educators in Canada have recently identified that incidents of sexual harassment between students occur daily in our junior high and high schools. Sexual harassment seriously affects a student's emotional and physical well-being and negatively affects her opportunity to receive an equal education. In this article, the author examines the existing legal remedies available to a student victim of sexual harassment and concludes that student sexual harassment is best dealt with through education and preventative measures taken by school boards.
