Yes. Harassment is illegal when it is so frequent or severe that it creates a hostile or offensive work environment or when it results in an adverse employment decision (such as the victim being fired or demoted). No matter where the unwelcome conduct occurs, if it creates a hostile or offensive work environment or results in an adverse employment decision, it is harassment.
Sexual harassment can occur due to power dynamics, cultural norms that normalize inappropriate behavior, lack of understanding of boundaries, or a sense of entitlement. It is often a form of asserting control or dominance over others, and can also stem from a lack of respect for others' autonomy and consent.
Depending where the harassment takes place, the first thing you should do is contact your HR department or your boss. If this doesn't help, you may want to seek the advice of an attorney.
