Abstract

Globally, sexual harassment is a common phenomenon and occurred before formulating its name sexual harassment. ILO focused on it and said that sexual harassment at work will not be tolerated and must end worldwide. The primary objective of this study is to examine the idea of workplace harassment and its legal aspects globally. This is a review-based study and has been grounded on authentic sites such as google scholar, academia, jstor, and electronic libraries to explore the context. Among a few governments Sweden was the first to adopt legislation and organized seminars and highlighted workplace sexual harassment including anti-bullying laws. Likewise, international organizations and conventions such as CEDAW, ILO, and women's conferences have included provisions on sexual harassment in the workplace. Anti-sexual harassment acts have come into effect in many countries such as Pakistan, Afghanistan, the Philippines, Indonesia, Turkey, and Nepal. Additionally, from the global level, the Me-too movement assisted to speak up on sexual harassment. However sexual harassment in the workplace continues. Despite the sexual harassment acts and laws, employers continue to ignore the incidences of harassment. Therefore, both employers and employees need to work towards creating a safer workspace, and free from harassment by formulating and implementing policies based on the country’s acts and protocols for prevention.

全球背景下职场性骚扰的认知与法律展望:一项基于回顾的研究

在全球范围内，性骚扰是一种普遍现象，在其名称形成之前就已经发生了。国际劳工组织关注了这一问题，并表示，工作场所的性骚扰是不可容忍的，必须在全球范围内结束。本研究的主要目的是研究全球工作场所骚扰的概念及其法律方面。这是一项基于评论的研究，并以真实的网站为基础，如google scholar，学术界，jstor和电子图书馆来探索背景。在少数几个政府中，瑞典是第一个通过立法和组织研讨会的国家，并强调了包括反欺凌法在内的工作场所性骚扰。同样，诸如消除对妇女歧视委员会、劳工组织和妇女会议等国际组织和公约也列入了关于工作场所性骚扰的规定。在巴基斯坦、阿富汗、菲律宾、印度尼西亚、土耳其和尼泊尔等许多国家，反性骚扰法案已经生效。此外，从全球层面来看，“我也是”运动有助于对性骚扰直言不讳。然而，工作场所的性骚扰仍在继续。尽管有性骚扰的行为和法律，雇主仍然无视性骚扰的发生。因此，雇主和雇员都需要努力创造一个更安全的工作场所，并通过制定和实施基于国家预防行为和协议的政策来避免骚扰。
