I addressed these issues in my proposal at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Comprehensive_harassment_and…
Sexual harassment policy has been around for a good 30 years or so and by
now is pretty much boilerplate stuff. Every company has something, whether
they have new employees sign a simple statement that they will not engage
in sexual harassment, or whether there is a formal training program they
have new employees read and sign as part of the new hire orientation.
There is a ton of stuff on the internet about the subject, for instance see
NOLO:
http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/preventing-sexual-harassment-workpla…
For my grant proposal, I borrowed heavily from NOLO's "Avoid Employee
Lawsuits: Commonsense tips for responsible management"
<http://www.amazon.com/Avoid-Employee-Lawsuits-Commonsense-Responsible/dp/0873374630/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1437760629&sr=1-1-fkmr0&keywords=NOLO+prevent+employee+lawsuits>,
mostly condensing the ideas that were applicable to online interactions.
While the same ideas are common to most HR policies, this book presents
them fairly succinctly, as you would want in a policy written to be
understood by a wide variety of users.

A proposed policy page now exists as well:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sexual_harassment
However, personally I think the third proposal suggested by
User:EvergreenFir is the one to go with: "A harassment policy that
specifically mentions identity-based harassment (including, but not limited
to, sex, gender, race, age, ability, etc.)"
