What is inappropriate touching?

Inappropriate touching refers to physical contact that violates personal boundaries and is unwelcome or non-consensual. This can include unwanted hugs, groping, or any other form of contact that makes the recipient feel uncomfortable, threatened, or violated. Such behavior can occur in various contexts, including social, professional, or intimate settings, and is often considered a form of harassment or abuse. Consent and mutual agreement are key factors in determining whether touching is appropriate or inappropriate.
