This sort of unwelcome attention is more common than one might expect. I think that a person who is on the receiving end should ignore once, warn once, and then escalate it to a higher authority within the company.
It's not only seen in Arab land but Shaytaan's presence is felt every where.

Prevention of Sexual Harassment
The most effective weapon against sexual harassment is prevention. Harassment does not disappear on its own. In fact, it is more likely that when the problem is not addressed, the harassment will worsen and become more difficult to remedy as time goes on.
Below are some measures that employers can take in order to create a harassment-free workplace:
Make it clear that this is a workplace where harassment will not be tolerated.
Provide education and information about harassment to all staff on a regular basis.
Develop an anti-harassment policy together with employees, managers, and union representatives.
Communicate the policy to all employees
Make sure that all managers and supervisors understand their responsibility to provide a harassment-free work environment.
Ensure that all employees understand the policy and procedures for dealing with harassment - new and long-term employees alike - this involves training, information and education.
Show you mean it - make sure the policy applies to everyone, including managers and supervisors.
Promptly investigate and deal with all complaints of harassment.
Appropriately discipline employees who harass other employees.
Provide protection and support for the employees who feel they are being harassed.
Take action to eliminate discriminatory jokes, posters, graffiti, e-mails and photos at the work site.
Monitor and revise the policy and education/information programs on a regular basis to ensure that it is still effective for your workplace.
