Generally, harassment only applies if you were the direct target of the offensive conduct.

True

False

Harassment can be about more than just the person who is directly targeted. A key idea is that unwelcome conduct, especially when it's based on a protected characteristic, can create a hostile environment for others or for people who witness it, not only for the person being insulted.

If someone makes repeated offensive remarks or jokes about a protected group in front of colleagues, or if the conduct is directed at one person but creates an uncomfortable, intimidating atmosphere for everyone in the room, it can still be harassment. This also includes cases of bystander harassment, where witnessing the behavior harms you or makes the setting hostile, even if you aren’t the direct target.

So the statement that harassment only applies when you are the direct target isn’t accurate.
