Protection of Women’s Rights in Workplace Sexual Harassment

Abstract

In contemporary society, the impact of workplace sexual harassment on women is increasingly drawing attention. This paper, focusing on the study of workplace sexual harassment issues in China, aims to explore the current state of legal protections for women and the corresponding measures. The study utilizes regulative analysis and case study methods to examine the drawbacks and limitations of the legal framework in practical application, revealing deficiencies in safeguarding women’s rights. The research finds that despite some legislation in China specifying the legal consequences of sexual harassment, the legislation lacks specificity and sufficient protection for women in its implementation. Therefore, this paper aims to provide theoretical support and policy recommendations to enhance the legal framework for preventing and addressing workplace sexual harassment, thereby promoting gender equality and a healthier workplace environment.
