Need for better protection


Unkindest touch: Sexual harassment often occurs in the workplace, but most women are usually too afraid to report it.

It could happen to anyone – man or woman, and anytime. But more often than not, it is never brought up. And that is one of the stumbling blocks in combating sexual harassment at the workplace.

There are some setbacks in getting justice from being sexually harassed at work, leading to groups pushing for a stand-alone Sexual Harassment Act and other proposals to beef up the law.
