In the Green Zone, actions like professional handshakes, friendly pats on the back, and polite compliments are considered acceptable social interactions that do not constitute harassment. Conversely, the Yellow Zone denotes caution; behaviors such as catcalling, lewd comments, and lingering touches may cross the line into harassment, particularly if they persist after being deemed unwelcome. Understanding these zones helps foster respectful interactions.
