Abstract

The issue of sexual harassment in the workplace in China is increasingly becoming a focus of attention. In recent years, social hot topics caused by sexual harassment have occurred frequently, and a series of related issues urgently require legal response and resolution. Among them, the responsibility that the company should bear is a crucial issue. At present, China has formed a diverse and integrated protection system for workplace sexual harassment, including criminal law, administrative law, civil law, and labor law. However, there are still shortcomings in the recognition, assumption, and accountability of unit responsibilities in workplace sexual harassment. This article compares and analyzes the practices and differentiated performances of China and the United States in this field, in order to provide feasible experience and reform plans for the ways of sexual harassment in the workplace in China.
