Q

ANTI-SEXUAL HARASSMENT ACT OF 1995 (REPUBLIC ACT NO. 7877)

A

Harassment and sexual harassment are recognized as a form of discrimination on the grounds of sex and, thus, are contrary to the principle of equal treatment between men and women (Numhuser-Henning and Laulom 2012).

It is all about power, control, and domination. International Labor Organization (ILO) (2001) defined sexual harassment as a sex-based behavior that is unwelcome and offensive to the recipient. Thus, sexual harassment is not merely a problem of safety and health and unacceptable working conditions, but it also a form of violence primarily against women (ILO 1992).
