    Say “No”. Make it clear that you are not happy with what the person is saying or doing. You can also say, “Never say or do that again” and “Keep your distance”.
    Make it clear to the harasser that what they are doing or saying is inappropriate and that action will be taken if they do not stop.
    Use specific examples to make your point clear.
    Ask, “Do you know that you are committing a punishable offense?”
