The Limitations and Solutions in Chinese Legislation about Sexual Harassment in Workplace Based on Analysis and Case Studies

Abstract

In light of the burgeoning feminist movement in China, the issue of sexual harassment in the workplace has garnered significant attention both from the public and legislative bodies. This article sheds light on the shortcomings of current Chinese legislation concerning workplace sexual harassment, proposing viable solutions supported by case studies and survey data. It reveals a lack of precision in existing legal provisions and the absence of specific laws or regulations in this domain. Moreover, the detrimental aftermath experienced by victims underlines the urgency of addressing these deficiencies. The article advocates for a bilateral approach, focusing on actions to be taken by both individuals and employers. Empowering victims through heightened awareness is highlighted as a fusion for reporting and pursuing legal recourse. Concurrently, it stresses the significance for employers to make robust anti-harassment policies, furnish employee training, and institute transparent procedures for addressing complaints. Collaboration between these two fronts emerges as pivotal in effectively combating  sexual harassment within the workplace.
