Abstract: The study investigated the prevale nce of the humanist perspective of sexual harassment among adolescents in a Christian mission secondary school. Three research questions and two hypotheses were used. The descriptive survey used a cluster sample of 70 students. A close- ended questionnaire was used as the instrument for gathering data which were analyzed using frequency distribution, percentage and the correlation test. The findings indicate that t he traditional perspective of sexual harassment is s till more prevalent despite the influence of western culture and media. Th ere is no significant relationship between gender and subscription to humanist perspective of sexual harassment among adolescents. There is no significant relationship between age and subscription to humanist perspective of sexual harassment among adolesce nts. Implications for education and cross- cultural counseling were highlighted.
