This study was conducted to find out the relationship between indecent dressing and sexual harassment amongst undergraduates of Nasarawa State University, Keffi. The study involved 200 undergraduates within the age range of 16 - 30 who were randomly selected. One way analysis of variance was used in testing the hypotheses formulated for the study. The result revealed among others that indecent dressing has an influence on the sexual harassment of undergraduates. It was suggested that public enlightenment programmes, seminar and conferences should be organized to highlight and discourage the demeaning consequence of indecent dressing prevalent among students in the higher institutions of learning as well as address the adverse effect of sexual harassment in the society.
