**1. Definition of Harassment:**

Harassment includes but is not limited to, unwelcome comments, slurs, jokes, images, or physical contact related to a person's age, gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, appearance, or any other protected characteristic. Harassment also encompasses stalking, intimidation, unwanted advances, and any other behavior that creates an uncomfortable or unsafe environment.

If you experience or witness any form of harassment, please report it immediately to any staff member or volunteer wearing official event attire. You can also visit the Registration Desk to make a report. We take all reports seriously and will take appropriate action to address the situation promptly and discreetly.

 

**4. Consequences of Harassment:**

Any individual found to have engaged in harassment or other inappropriate behavior will be subject to appropriate action, which may include a verbal warning, being asked to leave the event without a refund, or being banned from attending future events organized by our team. In severe cases, local law enforcement may be involved.

 

**5. Confidentiality:**

Reports of harassment will be handled confidentially and with the utmost discretion. Information will only be shared on a need-to-know basis to ensure the safety and well-being of all attendees.

 

**6. Personal Responsibility:**

We encourage all attendees to be proactive in creating a positive atmosphere. If you witness someone in an uncomfortable situation, intervene if it's safe to do so or alert event staff.
